serialize.rs

1//! Provides the `Serializable` trait for handling serialization to/from a consistent, opinionated binary format.
2//!
3//! The binary format specified by this crate is used to emit RVM bytecode,
4//! and exhibits the following properties to ensure cross-platform compatibility:
5//!
6//! - Byte-aligned data
7//! - Little-endian encoding for numeric types
8//! - Strings encoded in UTF-8 with a `u32` length prefix (see `StrLen`)
9//! - Arrays encoded with a length prefix of varying size (e.g., `u8`, `u16`, `u32`), followed by the serialized elements
10//!
11//! This module also provides trivial implementations of `Serializable` for `bool` and `String`.
