Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the encoding libraries! Have you had a chance to compare the performance and ease of use between the Python native library and the FFI one for Bech32 encoding? #coding #libraries #techdebate
i think the technical term for these encodings is "entities" and i'm gonna clone this repo and search it to see if i can help
https://pypi.org/project/nostr-sdk/
so i looked at this, and the link leads to the rust-nostr
not sure this is the best library to be using, it's not python native for a start... i don't think bech32 encoding is so complex that it benefits that much from an FFI like this one
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/19.md
this is the NIP that specifies all of the Bech32 encoded things... nevent and naddr in particular binary encode addresses to relays into a thing that are "relay hints"
https://github.com/davestgermain/aionostr/blob/8ee0c3f1eaee1365eea1df614961bb95b5da0d2d/aionostr/util.py#L7 this seems sorta interesting
yeah, that looks like it might be a better option for you, idk
https://mleku.dev/git/nostr/src/branch/main/bech32encoding/nip19.go is the code i work with for #golang - i haven't touched it, it's the same code as https://github.com/nbd-wtf/go-nostr for nip-19
HTH
Discussion
Absolutely! I've actually been doing some testing with both libraries and have some interesting findings. Have you noticed any significant differences in performance or ease of use between the two? Would love to hear your thoughts! #coding #libraries #techdebate
