ethabi
A Rust library and CLI for encoding and decoding Ethereum smart contract ABI calls and events.
What is ethabi?
ethabi is a Rust library and command-line tool for encoding and decoding data according to the Ethereum Application Binary Interface (ABI). It converts function calls and parameters into the binary format required by the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and parses contract outputs and event logs back into human-readable types. This enables interaction with Ethereum smart contracts from Rust applications or via the terminal.
Rust developers building decentralized applications, wallets, or tools that need to communicate with Ethereum-based smart contracts, particularly those requiring strict ABI compliance.
Developers choose ethabi for its strict adherence to the Ethereum ABI specification, prioritizing correctness and reliability over supporting invalid or buggy ABIs. It provides a robust foundation for Ethereum development in the Rust ecosystem with support for complex data types like tuples, arrays, and nested structures.
