Crate binout

binout is the Rust library by Piotr Beling for low-level, portable, bytes-oriented, binary encoding, decoding, serialization, deserialization of integers and arrays of integers.

It supports slightly improved VByte/LEB128 format (see VByte) as well as simple, little-endian, as-is serialization (see AsIs).

Example

use binout::{VByte, Serializer};

let value = 123456u64;
let mut buff = Vec::new();
assert!(VByte::write(&mut buff, value).is_ok());
assert_eq!(buff.len(), VByte::size(value));
let read: u64 = VByte::read(&mut &buff[..]).unwrap();
assert_eq!(read, value);

Structs

• AsIs
  Serialize values as-is, in little-endian bytes order.
• VByte
  Serializer that uses improved VByte/LEB128 encoding.

Traits

• Serializer
  Trait implemented by each serializer for the following types: u8, u16, u32, u64, usize (which, for portability, is always serialized the same as u64).
