SSZ support for endianness #101

Closed atoulme closed 5 years ago

atoulme commented 5 years ago

There is no support for setting endianness at this time in the SSZ library. The spec was modified to allow endianness when serializing individual values.

In the current spec, all integers and lengths are serialized in big endian. The other types do not have multi-byte sequences, so I think just doing big-endian is fine.

The spec is probably misleading.

The spec changed - moving from specifying endianness to enforcing integer endianness to little endian.
