Hi there,
when stored in the binaries (or in metadata), strings are represented in
a special format: the length is followed by the string data.
However, I do not quite understand this PackedLen value that precedes
consecutive bytes. I've made some experiments and figured out that 8-bit
numbers are stored as they are (single byte) and numbers greater than 255
are stored on 2 bytes with trailing 8 (for example 1495 is 85D7).
Could anyone explain this PackedLen format to me? Is it some kind of
standard? Unfortunately, I have no idea what the google should be asked for.
