        "description": "Encode and decode Bencode (BEP 3) — the serialization format used by BitTorrent for .torrent metainfo files and tracker responses. The encode endpoint turns a JSON value into Bencode (objects become dictionaries with keys sorted in raw byte order as the spec requires, arrays become lists, whole numbers become integers, strings become length-prefixed byte strings); the decode endpoint parses Bencode back into a JSON value, enforcing the spec's rules (no leading zeros in integers, no negative zero, strictly sorted unique dictionary keys, no trailing data). Binary byte strings that are not valid UTF-8 are represented losslessly as {\"_bytes_hex\":\"…\"} so encode/decode round-trip exactly. Decode accepts the data as text or, for real binary .torrent payloads, as hex; encode returns both the Bencode text (when printable) and its hex. Everything is computed locally and deterministically. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored."
