# vlq-bij

Encoding and decoding bijective variable-length quantities.

## Implementation Criteria

This repository covers the following dimensions along which variable-length quantities encodings can be divised:

- redundant encodings: no
- the minimal unit of data: 8-bit bytes
- order of data: big-endian, little-endian
- encoding base: powers of two ≤128
- bit indicating continuation: 7 (high) .. 0 (low)
- bit value indicating continuation: set, clear

## Implementation Status

- [x] be128: big-endian, base 128, high bit set (used by git, etc)
