Usage: borsh[EXE] <COMMAND>
Commands:
pack
Serialize the input as a simple binary blob with Borsh headers
unpack
Deserialize the input as a simple binary blob with Borsh headers
encode
Convert JSON to Borsh
decode
Decode Borsh input to JSON
extract
Extracts the Borsh schema header
strip
Removes the Borsh schema header
help
Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
Options:
-h, --help
Print help information (use `-h` for a summary)
-V, --version
Print version information
Generally, every sub-command will read from STDIN and output to STDOUT unless the -i

Without schema
Not recommended for highly-structured data.

Note: Fields are encoded in the order of their appearance. Thus, the encoding of {"a":1,"b":2}
is different from that of {"b":2,"a":1}
.
Decode
Requires that the input file contains Borsh schema headers.
Strip
Removes the schema headers from some Borsh data and returns the remaining data.
Extract
Returns just the schema headers from some Borsh data.
FAQ
How to generate Borsh schema headers for my data?
The borsh
Rust crate contains a macro for automatically generating Borsh schema headers for your data:
use borsh::{BorshSchema, BorshSerialize};
#[derive(BorshSerialize, BorshSchema)]
struct MyStruct { /* ... */ }
fn serialize(data: MyStruct) {
let serialized_with_schema: Vec<u8> = borsh::try_to_vec_with_schema(&data).unwrap();
// ...
}
