Examples

Generating bytes

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

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

[
    "lDH/o+XtxGV9HkLU3ivTkm12WG/AGRdC",
    "Ene98arqXdJGYy3khD/AqEfpDiGDGTad",
    "6gxYsNKA+nziaSQ1ulaJXF4VWTMHXey8",
    "dyv4/n/4+NpXfBj4nar5VvqlSoHwPg7C",
    "8IL+F9FC4LmWAz2CUiIxgpeWCtuGQ4HG"
]

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
        ]
    }
}

    "19X5imtVACbXHRgn75z+mDP52Q==",
    "u0rYwFyBHFRU8UX4MBdauKJCkOfym0Zjk3MnodUz5wM=",
