Examples

Generating bytes

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

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

    "g53uRm2FLLW+amGqmgxhF71nQ+fcl4Vz",

]

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
        ]
    }
}

    "vmphqpoMYRe9Z0Pn3JeFc5mOaF6IXLNh+GyXRiC+v7ARALJ2VFc=",
    "8RBZ62+85iZV371vg7iWcNbZ+b9S2D3u3Av2YgWDXMwWrWgtjEeKJg==",
