# Candid

Candid is a binary encoding format for the Internet Computer (ICP).

This library allows to encode and decode Candid messages.

## Installation

This package can be installed
by adding `candid` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:candid, "~> 1.0.0"}
  ]
end
```

## Usage

```elixir
type_spec = [{:vec, {:record, [{0, :blob}, {1, :blob}]}}]

messages = [
  {"key1", "hello world"},
  {"key2," "hello candid"}
]

^messages = Candid.encode_parameters(type_spec, messages)
|> Candid.decode_parameters()
```

## Completion

This library is currently in the early stages of development and does not yet support all Candid formats (only those we need for our use cases at the moment). PRs and contributions to extend this library are welcome though!
