Utility trait to read some primitive values into our encoding format.

Provided Methods

fn read_u8(&mut self) -> Result<u8, Error>

Read an 8-bit unsigned integer in little-endian.

fn read_u16(&mut self) -> Result<u16, Error>

Read a 16-bit unsigned integer in little-endian.

fn read_u32(&mut self) -> Result<u32, Error>

Read a 32-bit unsigned integer in little-endian.

fn read_u64(&mut self) -> Result<u64, Error>

Read a 64-bit unsigned integer in little-endian.

fn read_slice(&mut self, slice: &mut [u8]) -> Result<(), Error>

Read from the writer to fill the entire slice.

fn read_byte_array<const N: usize>(&mut self) -> Result<[u8; N], Error>

Read a byte array

fn read_compact_size(&mut self) -> Result<u64, Error>

Read a value in compact size aka “VarInt” encoding.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
