nostr-types is a crate defining types useful for the nostr protocol.

We wrap all basic types. Ani64 may or may not be aUnixtime. A&str mightbe a hex encoded private key, or it might be somebody's name. By using types foreverything, common mistakes can be avoided.

We have extensive serde implementations for all types which are not simple to serializesuch as Tag.

Private keys remember if you've seen them or imported them and set themselves toWeak ifyou have. Generated private keys start out asMedium. We don't supportStrong yetwhich will require a hardware token. (Note: there are ways to leak a private key withoutit knowing, so if it saysMedium that is the maximum security, not a guaranteed levelof security). Private keys can be imported and exported in a password-keyed encrypted formwithout weakening their security.
