Taquito michel-codec package

@mavrykdynamics/taquito-michel-codec Converts and validates Michelson expressions between JSON based Michelson and Micheline.

This package can:

- Retrieve Michelson in JSON form from the Mavryk Node RPC and convert it to plain Michelson.
- Parse plain Michelson (including Macros) and expand/convert it to JSON Michelson suitable for injection into the Tezo Blockchain.
- Validate Michelson to ensure correctness

See the top-level project https://github.com/ecadlabs/taquito for details on reporting issues, contributing and versioning.

``js
const code = (Pair
(Pair { Elt 1 (Pair (Pair "mv1JQ19UKK5w264P8SDJmwjHsrXZASegkXrH" "mv18Cw7psUrAAPBpXYd9CtCpHg9EgjHP9KTe") 0x0501000000026869)}
10000000)
(Pair 2 333)
);

const p = new Parser();

const result = p.parseMichelineExpression(code);
console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
`

Output:

`js
const contract = await Mavryk.contract.at('KT1EctCuorV2NfVb1XTQgvzJ88MQtWP8cMMv')

const michelsonCode = p.parseJSON(contract.script.code as JSON[])

Serializes any value of packable type to its optimized binary representation identical to the one used by PACK and UNPACK Michelson instructions.
Without a type definition (not recommended) the data will be encoded as a binary form of a generic Michelson expression.
Type definition allows some types like timestamp and address and other base58 representable types to be encoded to corresponding optimized binary forms borrowed from the Mavryk protocol.

`js
const data: MichelsonData = {
string: 'KT1RvkwF4F7pz1gCoxkyZrG1RkrxQy3gmFTv%foo',
};

const typ: MichelsonType = {
prim: 'address',
};

const packed = packData(data, typ);
// 050a0000001901be41ee922ddd2cf33201e49d32da0afec571dce300666f6f

// alternatively
const packedBytes = packDataBytes(data, typ);
// { bytes: "050a0000001901be41ee922ddd2cf33201e49d32da0afec571dce300666f6f" }
`

Without a type definition the base58 encoded address will be treated as a string

`js
const data: MichelsonData = {
string: 'KT1RvkwF4F7pz1gCoxkyZrG1RkrxQy3gmFTv%foo',
};

const packed = packData(data);
// 0501000000284b543152766b7746344637707a3167436f786b795a724731526b7278517933676d46547625666f6f

// alternatively
const packedBytes = packDataBytes(data);
// {
// bytes: "0501000000284b543152766b7746344637707a3167436f786b795a724731526b7278517933676d46547625666f6f"
// }
`

$3

Deserialize a byte array into the corresponding Michelson value.
Without a type definition (not recommended) the binary data will be treated as a binary form of a generic Michelson expression and returned as is.
Type definition allows some types like timestamp and address and other types usually encoded in optimized binary forms to be transformed back to their string representations like base58 and ISO timestamps.

`js
const src = [0x05, 0x00, 0xa7, 0xe8, 0xe4, 0xd8, 0x0b];

const typ: MichelsonType = {
prim: 'timestamp',
};

const data = unpackData(src, typ);
// { string: "2019-09-26T10:59:51Z" }
`

Alternatively

`js
const src = { bytes: '0500a7e8e4d80b' };

const typ: MichelsonType = {
prim: 'timestamp',
};

const data = unpackDataBytes(src, typ);
// { string: "2019-09-26T10:59:51Z" }
`

Same binary data without a type definition

`js
const src = [0x05, 0x00, 0xa7, 0xe8, 0xe4, 0xd8, 0x0b];

const data = unpackData(src);
// { int: "1569495591" }
`

Alternatively

`js
const src = { bytes: '0500a7e8e4d80b' };

const data = unpackDataBytes(src);
// { int: "1569495591" }
