How would you go about decoding a variable length format, like just for example UTF-8?
It needs to:
Read a single byte, if the values are between x and y then it's a single byte
Else read a second byte and then treat it as a single 16 bit value
This process could continue
My specific use case has a single byte command, except when that byte is 0xfe in which case it's a two byte command. It's a very rudimentary case where more than 256 commands were needed so they just created a 2nd list of 256 commands.
