Trait Encodable 

pub trait Encodable {
    // Required method
    fn to_bytes(self, dst: &mut [u8]) -> Result<usize, Error>;
}

The Encodable trait defines the interface for encoding a type into bytes.

The trait provides methods for serializing an instance of a type into a byte array or writing it directly into an output writer. The trait is flexible, allowing various types, including primitives, structures, and collections, to implement custom serialization logic.

The trait offers two key methods for encoding:

• The first, to_bytes, takes a mutable byte slice as a destination buffer. This method encodes the object directly into the provided buffer, returning the number of bytes written or an error if the encoding process fails.
• The second, to_writer, (only available when not compiling for no-std) accepts a writer as a destination for the encoded bytes, allowing the serialized data to be written to any implementor of the Write trait.

Implementing types can define custom encoding logic, and this trait is especially useful when dealing with different data structures that need to be serialized for transmission.

Required Methods

fn to_bytes(self, dst: &mut [u8]) -> Result<usize, Error>

Encodes the object into the provided byte slice.

The method uses the destination buffer dst to write the serialized bytes. It returns the number of bytes written on success or an Error if encoding fails.
