Crate bincode_thin

Bincode is a crate for encoding and decoding using a tiny binary serialization strategy. Using it, you can easily go from having an object in memory, quickly serialize it to bytes, and then deserialize it back just as fast!

Using Basic Functions

extern crate bincode;
use bincode::{serialize, deserialize};
fn main() {
    // The object that we will serialize.
    let target: Option<String>  = Some("hello world".to_string());

    let encoded: Vec<u8>        = serialize(&target).unwrap();
    let decoded: Option<String> = deserialize(&encoded[..]).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(target, decoded);
}

128bit numbers

Support for i128 and u128 is automatically enabled on Rust toolchains greater than or equal to 1.26.0.

Structs

Config

A configuration builder whose options Bincode will use while serializing and deserializing.

Enums

ErrorKind

The kind of error that can be produced during a serialization or deserialization.

Traits

BincodeRead

An optional Read trait for advanced Bincode usage.

Functions

config

Get a default configuration object.

deserialize

Deserializes a slice of bytes into an instance of T using the default configuration.

deserialize_from

Deserializes an object directly from a Reader using the default configuration.

deserialize_from_custom

Deserializes an object from a custom BincodeReader using the default configuration. It is highly recommended to use deserialize_from unless you need to implement BincodeRead for performance reasons.

serialize

Serializes a serializable object into a Vec of bytes using the default configuration.

serialize_into

Serializes an object directly into a Writer using the default configuration.

serialized_size

Returns the size that an object would be if serialized using Bincode with the default configuration.

Type Aliases

Error

An error that can be produced during (de)serializing.

Result

The result of a serialization or deserialization operation.
