Varint

All Implemented Interfaces:
```
public class Varint

                    
```
Object Varint contains utility functions to encode and decode integers using variable-length quantity (Varint). Varint is a method of serializing integers using one or more bytes; smaller integers use fewer bytes. Used by Multicodec (which is used for DidKey)

  - encode
```
 final ByteArray encode(Integer inp)
```
    Encodes the given integer inp into a ByteArray using Varint encoding. The function supports encoding of Integers to Varint byte arrays, which are more efficient in representing smaller numbers using fewer bytes.
    
    Parameters:
    
    inp - The integer to be encoded.
    
    Returns:
    
    The ByteArray representing inp in Varint format.
  - decode
```
 final Pair<Integer, Integer> decode(ByteArray input)
```
    Decodes the given ByteArray input from Varint format to a Pair of Integers. The function extracts the integer represented by the Varint and the number of bytes read to decode the integer.
    
    Parameters:
    
    input - The ByteArray to be decoded, representing an integer in Varint format.
    
    Returns:
    
    A Pair where the first element is the decoded integer and the second element is the number of bytes read from input to decode the integer.
