API Quick Reference

Basic Types

• T::unit() - Unit value
• T::natural(n) - Unsigned 64-bit integer
• T::integer(n) - Signed 64-bit integer

• T::text(s) - UTF-8 string
• T::binary(bytes) - Raw byte data

Composite Types

• T::tag(name, value) - Tagged union / sum type
• T::record(fields) - Key-value map (like a struct)
• T::list(items) - Ordered list

Encoding

let value = T::text("hello");
let encoded = value.encode();  // Returns Vec<u8>
let as_string = String::from_utf8_lossy(&encoded);
