Examples

Generating bytes

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

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

[
    "Ni2s2XmxamzLmCf8vT/QiEFyDiHV308+",
    "t1E1nXQYTwrX1fmKa1UAJtcdGCfvnP6Y",
    "M/nZiLPa675P2oqMu0rYwFyBHFRU8UX4",
    "MBdauKJCkOfym0Zjk3MnodUz5wNANxpy",
    "K4xXGgU35oSQXZYa1TB2ZBeEWCyMpjd1"
]

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
        ]
    }
}

[
    "+dufkuE3AUhCym2EU6ZMiUYUD7bUnMr3y/knrWVxAQ6uYeLZUJw=",
    "tWA2Srtf9prOqJZebUPVP2E7Xg==",
    "OTL8SvkYmvkD5IFUBD9okngPeqcPRl4fSQJsouYsQm/CLMZ7wViWjPzJtTeB7qST",
    "FBd/Q6gBl5j4NP50fxZs0Wvvhxu9Sz7ic+9O8Wh/cQ==",
