There are several cast commands which can potentially receive lengthy arguments. Those are often limited by the underlying host OS to a couple of kilobytes, which, in some situations, might not be enough.
One alternative is to receive such arguments via stdin. It can be formatted as JSON, which is a format already in use for the output of some cast commands. For example:
This stemmed from an application I'm developing, called Bugless.
We were using go-ethereum to sign transactions to anvil, but then we changed the underlying framework, and opted to sign transactions with cast instead.
The problem is that some transactions can be quite big, and cast doesn't work because of the argument size limit imposed by the underlying OS, Linux.
If cast doesn't implement a workaround, we might rewrite our CLI tool using viem.
