Examples

Generating bytes

Use a constant to generate byte arrays of the same size.

{
    "_gen": "bytes",
    "size": 24
}

    "+GyXRiC+v7ARALJ2VFcYww9AbMjjoYj/",

    "3VOzNRpXK0Dyf3LTfzR7XZl5Fiz6lZ0o"
]

Varied sizes

Use a function to generate byte arrays of varying sizes, in this case between 10 and 50 bytes.

{
    "_gen": "bytes",
    "size": {
        "_gen": "uniformDistribution",
        "bounds": [
            10,
            50
        ]
    }
}
