Struct Serializer 

pub struct Serializer<W: Write> { /* private fields */ }

A serializer used to write serialized data to the writer.

Implementations

impl<W: Write> Serializer<W>

pub fn new(w: W, revision: u32) -> BinverseResult<Self>

Creates a new serializer. The revision will be written to the data to make it possible to parse the data in future revisions. If the revision should not be written, use Serializer::new_no_revision.

pub fn new_no_revision(w: W) -> Self

Create a new Serializer, but without writing the revision into the stream.

pub fn write(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> BinverseResult<()>

Write a raw byte buffer into the output. Should only be used when the size will be known when deserializing, use the SizedSerialize/SizedDeserialize implementations for [u8] or Vec<u8> otherwise.

pub fn serialize_sized<T: SizedSerialize<W>>( &mut self, size_bytes: SizeBytes, t: &T, ) -> BinverseResult<()>

Serialize a sized data structure. Use the size_bytes parameter to control how many bytes are used to serialize the size of the data structure. Note that any elements exceeding the size will not be serialized. For example, a Vec with 258 elements will lose it’s last 3 elements when using SizeBytes::One.

pub fn finish(self) -> W

Returns the inner writer.
