Decoder Implementation

Implementing a decoder:

python

Streaming: process bytes as they arrive. Useful for sockets.

Error handling:

  • Truncated input: short data buffer raises EOFError.
  • Invalid format byte: raise.
  • UTF-8 decode error: bad string.
  • Recursive depth limit: prevent stack overflow on adversarial input.
