bincode 2.0.0-rc.2

A binary serialization / deserialization strategy for transforming structs into bytes and vice versa!
Documentation
//! This module contains reader-based structs and traits.
//!
//! Because `std::io::Read` is only limited to `std` and not `core`, we provide 2 alternative readers.
//!
//! [Reader] is a reader for sources that do not own their data. It is assumed that the reader's data is dropped after the `read` method is called. This reader is incapable of reading borrowed data, like `&str` and `&[u8]`.
//!
//! [BorrowReader] is an extension of `Reader` that also allows returning borrowed data. A `BorrowReader` allows reading `&str` and `&[u8]`.
//!
//! Specifically the `Reader` trait is used by [Decode] and the `BorrowReader` trait is used by `[BorrowDecode]`.
//!
//! [Decode]: ../trait.Decode.html
//! [BorrowDecode]: ../trait.BorrowDecode.html
