Examples

Generating bytes

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

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

[
    "5DwIT0u7K/GDne5GbYUstb5qYaqaDGEX",
    "vWdD59yXhXOZjmheiFyzYfhsl0Ygvr+w",
    "EQCydlRXGMMPQGzI46GI//EQWetvvOYm",
    "Vd+9b4O4lnDW2fm/Utg97twL9mIFg1zM",
    "Fq1oLYxHiib0UCeYSVmbVt1TszUaVytA"
]

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
        ]
    }
}

[
    "vWdD59yXhXOZjmheiFyzYQ==",
    "EQCydlRXGMMPQGzI46GI",
    "Vd+9b4O4lnDW2fm/Utg97twL9mIFg1zMFq1oLYxHiib0UCeYSQ==",
    "8n9y0380e12ZeRYs+pWd",
