bencode-parser-rs's Issues

Add clap

Add clap to parse the following inputs -

• Input file path => The torrent file to parse
• Output file path => The file where the BEncode object would be written

Add More Examples

Add more examples:

• An info hash extractor from torrent files

Add bencode encoder

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

For calculating info hash, the raw bencode info dictionary is required, which itself requires a method to encode a BEncode object back to a bencode string

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a method to encode a BEncode object as bencode string

Describe alternatives you've considered

None

Additional context

None

Docs

Write docs for all the functions and structs
The documentation needs to have at least one example for all the functions

Organize files and Finalize Crate

The current file structure defines bencode as a module, which is not ideal if it has to be published as a crate.
The cli needs to be moved into examples which relies on the bencode lib

Add Issue Template

Add hex string decoder for info hashes

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Extracting piece hashes from a parsed BEncode object is still a hassle.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a hex parser so the pieces are also parsed when the bencode is parsed

Describe alternatives you've considered

The info_hash_extractor example
