Module interfaces

Provides a panic-free way to read and write binary data. All of the methods within this module follow the protobuf specification at https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/encoding/.

Example

use binary_util::io::ByteReader;

const VARINT: &[u8] = &[255, 255, 255, 255, 7]; // 2147483647
fn main() {
    let mut buf = ByteReader::from(&VARINT[..]);
    assert_eq!(buf.read_var_u32().unwrap(), 2147483647);
}
