//! Bitcode is a crate for encoding and decoding using a tinier
//! binary serialization strategy. You can easily go from having
//! an object in memory, quickly serialize it to bytes, and then
//! deserialize it back just as fast!
//!
//! The format is not necessarily stable between versions. If you want
//! a stable format, consider [bincode](https://docs.rs/bincode/latest/bincode/).
//!
//! ### Usage
//!
//! ```edition2021
//! // The object that we will encode.
//! let target: Vec<String> = vec!["a".to_owned(), "b".to_owned(), "c".to_owned()];
//!
//! let encoded: Vec<u8> = bitcode::encode(&target).unwrap();
//! let decoded: Vec<String> = bitcode::decode(&encoded).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(target, decoded);
//! ```
//!
//! ### Advanced Usage
//!
//! Bitcode has several hints that can be applied.
//! Hints may have an effect on the encoded length.
//! Most importantly hints will never cause errors if they don't hold true.
//!
//! ```edition2021
//! // We mark enum variants that are more likely with a higher frequency.
//! // This allows bitcode to use shorter encodings for them.
//! #[derive(Copy, Clone, bitcode::Encode, bitcode::Decode)]
//! enum Fruit {
//! #[bitcode_hint(frequency = 10)]
//! Apple,
//! #[bitcode_hint(frequency = 5)]
//! Banana,
//! // Unspecified frequencies are 1.
//! Blueberry,
//! Lime,
//! Lychee,
//! Watermelon,
//! }
//!
//! // A cart full of 16 apples takes 2 bytes to encode (1 bit per Apple).
//! let apple_cart: usize = bitcode::encode(&[Fruit::Apple; 16]).unwrap().len();
//! assert_eq!(apple_cart, 2);
//!
//! // A cart full of 16 bananas takes 4 bytes to encode (2 bits per Banana).
//! let banana_cart: usize = bitcode::encode(&[Fruit::Banana; 16]).unwrap().len();
//! assert_eq!(banana_cart, 4);
//!
//! // A cart full of 16 blueberries takes 8 bytes to encode (4 bits per Blueberry).
//! let blueberry_cart: usize = bitcode::encode(&[Fruit::Blueberry; 16]).unwrap().len();
//! assert_eq!(blueberry_cart, 8);
//! ```
//!
//! ```edition2021
//! // We expect most user ages to be in the interval [10, 100), so we specify that as the expected
//! // range. If we're right most of the time, users will take fewer bits to encode.
//! #[derive(bitcode::Encode, bitcode::Decode)]
//! struct User {
//! #[bitcode_hint(expected_range = "10..100")]
//! age: u32
//! }
//!
//! // A user with an age inside the expected range takes up to a byte to encode.
//! let expected_age: usize = bitcode::encode(&User { age: 42 }).unwrap().len();
//! assert_eq!(expected_age, 1);
//!
//! // A user with an age outside the expected range more than 4 bytes to encode.
//! let unexpected_age: usize = bitcode::encode(&User { age: 31415926 }).unwrap().len();
//! assert!(unexpected_age > 4);
//! ```
//!
//! ```edition2021
//! // We expect that most posts won't have that many views or likes, but some can. By using gamma
//! // encoding, posts with fewer views/likes will take fewer bits to encode.
//! #[derive(bitcode::Encode, bitcode::Decode)]
//! #[bitcode_hint(gamma)]
//! struct Post {
//! views: u64,
//! likes: u64,
//! }
//!
//! // An average post just takes 1 byte to encode.
//! let average_post = bitcode::encode(&Post {
//! views: 4,
//! likes: 1,
//! }).unwrap().len();
//! assert_eq!(average_post, 1);
//!
//! // A popular post takes 11 bytes to encode, luckily these posts are rare.
//! let popular_post = bitcode::encode(&Post {
//! views: 27182818,
//! likes: 161803,
//! }).unwrap().len();
//! assert_eq!(popular_post, 11)
//! ```
