ethabi is a Rust library designed for encoding and decoding Ethereum's ABI (Application Binary Interface) calls and their outputs. The ABI defines how functions are called and how data is passed in Ethereum smart contracts, ensuring that function calls return data in the expected format.
This project is not actively maintained. Consider these alternatives:
An Ethereum smart contract is bytecode (EVM) on the Ethereum blockchain. A contract may contain several functions, and the ABI is necessary to specify which function to invoke and ensure the function returns data in the expected format. Read more
This library provides the functionality to encode function calls and decode their output.
