encoder.rs

1//! Streaming encoder for CBOR sequences.
2//!
3//! [`SequenceWriter`] is the write-side counterpart of
4//! [`SequenceDecoder`](crate::SequenceDecoder) and
5//! [`SequenceReader`](crate::SequenceReader). It wraps any
6//! [`io::Write`](std::io::Write) and emits a CBOR sequence (RFC 8742)
7//! in the format selected by [`Format`].

13/// Streaming writer for CBOR sequences in binary, hex, or diagnostic notation.
14///
15/// Construct with [`SequenceWriter::new`], call
16/// [`write_item`](Self::write_item), [`write_items`](Self::write_items),
17/// or [`write_pairs`](Self::write_pairs) to emit content, and then
18/// [`into_inner`](Self::into_inner) to get the wrapped writer back.
19///
20/// Format semantics mirror the reader side:
21///
22/// * [`Format::Binary`] and [`Format::Hex`]: items are concatenated with
23///   no separator. Each item's bytes form a self-delimiting CBOR value.
24/// * [`Format::Diagnostic`]: items are separated by `, ` (comma and a
25///   space). The first item is written without a leading separator; no
26///   trailing comma is emitted.
27///
28/// The writer is format-agnostic to the caller: the same code path
29/// works for all three formats, and switching format is a single
30/// constructor argument.
31///
32/// # Examples
33///
34/// Binary sequence:
35///
36/// ```
37/// use cbor_core::{Format, SequenceWriter, Value};
38///
39/// let mut buf = Vec::new();
40/// let mut sw = SequenceWriter::new(&mut buf, Format::Binary);
41/// sw.write_item(&Value::from(1)).unwrap();
42/// sw.write_item(&Value::from(2)).unwrap();
43/// sw.write_item(&Value::from(3)).unwrap();
44/// assert_eq!(buf, [0x01, 0x02, 0x03]);
45/// ```
46///
47/// Diagnostic sequence, with separators inserted automatically:
48///
49/// ```
50/// use cbor_core::{Format, SequenceWriter, Value};
51///
52/// let mut buf = Vec::new();
53/// let mut sw = SequenceWriter::new(&mut buf, Format::Diagnostic);
54/// sw.write_items([Value::from(1), Value::from("hi"), Value::from(true)].iter()).unwrap();
55/// assert_eq!(String::from_utf8(buf).unwrap(), r#"1, "hi", true"#);
56/// ```
57///
58/// Round-trip through [`SequenceDecoder`](crate::SequenceDecoder):
59///
60/// ```
61/// use cbor_core::{Array, DecodeOptions, Format, SequenceWriter, Value};
62///
63/// let items = [Value::from(1), Value::from("hi"), Value::from(true)];
64///
65/// let mut buf = Vec::new();
66/// let mut sw = SequenceWriter::new(&mut buf, Format::Diagnostic);
67/// sw.write_items(items.iter()).unwrap();
68///
69/// let decoded = Array::try_from_sequence(
70///     DecodeOptions::new().format(Format::Diagnostic).sequence_decoder(&buf),
71/// ).unwrap();
72/// assert_eq!(decoded.get_ref().as_slice(), &items);
73/// ```
