eszip

The eszip format lets you losslessly serialize an ECMAScript module graph (represented by deno_graph::ModuleGraph) into a single compact file.

The eszip file format is designed to be compact and streaming capable. This allows for efficient loading of large ECMAScript module graphs.

File format

The file format looks as follows:

Eszip:
| Magic (8) | Header size (4) | Header (n) | Header hash (32) | Sources size (4) | Sources (n) | SourceMaps size (4) | SourceMaps (n) |

Header:
( | Specifier size (4) | Specifier (n) | Entry type (1) | Entry (n) | )*

Entry (redirect):
| Specifier size (4) | Specifier (n) |

Entry (module):
| Source offset (4) | Source size (4) | SourceMap offset (4) | SourceMap size (4) | Module type (1) |

Sources:
( | Source (n) | Hash (32) | )*

SourceMaps:
( | SourceMap (n) | Hash (32) | )*

There is one optimization for empty source / source map entries. If both the offset and size are set to 0, no entry and no hash is present in the data sections for that module.
