Module linkedbytes

The Linked Bytes format, capable of storing arbitrarily large unsigned integers, also used to efficently store Unicode strings.

If you only want non-negative integers, you should stick to this format. (Signed LB integers are also planned.) Otherwise, use either Head Byte or Extended Head Byte.

Re-exports

pub use lbstring::LBString;

Modules

lbstring

A Unicode string format implemented using Linked Bytes.

Structs

InvalidLBSequence

Marker error type representing that the decoder has encountered an invalid Linked Bytes sequence, created by the TryFrom implementation of LBNum.

LBNum

A number in the Linked Bytes format, capable of storing arbitrarily large non-negative integers.

LBNumRef

A borrowed Linked Bytes number, providing access to the data as a number while not owning it.

LBSequence

An owned unchecked Linked Bytes sequence, used for storing either strings or numbers.

LinkedByte

An element in a series of Linked Bytes.

Type Aliases

DecodeResult

The Result specialization for the methods converting iterators/arrays of bytes into instances of LBNum.
