bincode 2.0.0-rc.2

A binary serialization / deserialization strategy for transforming structs into bytes and vice versa!
Documentation
#![no_std]
#![warn(missing_docs, unused_lifetimes)]
#![cfg_attr(docsrs, feature(doc_cfg))]

//! Bincode is a crate for encoding and decoding using a tiny binary
//! serialization strategy.  Using it, you can easily go from having
//! an object in memory, quickly serialize it to bytes, and then
//! deserialize it back just as fast!
//!
//! If you're coming from bincode 1, check out our [migration guide](migration_guide/index.html)
//!
//! # Serde
//!
//! Starting from bincode 2, serde is now an optional dependency. If you want to use serde, please enable the `serde` feature. See [Features](#features) for more information.
//!
//! # Features
//!
//! |Name  |Default?|Supported types for Encode/Decode|Enabled methods                                                  |Other|
//! |------|--------|-----------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|-----|
//! |std   | Yes    |`HashMap` and `HashSet`|`decode_from_std_read` and `encode_into_std_write`|
//! |alloc | Yes    |All common containers in alloc, like `Vec`, `String`, `Box`|`encode_to_vec`|
//! |atomic| Yes    |All `Atomic*` integer types, e.g. `AtomicUsize`, and `AtomicBool`||
//! |derive| Yes    |||Enables the `BorrowDecode`, `Decode` and `Encode` derive macros|
//! |serde | No     |`Compat` and `BorrowCompat`, which will work for all types that implement serde's traits|serde-specific encode/decode functions in the [serde] module|Note: There are several [known issues](serde/index.html#known-issues) when using serde and bincode|
//!
//! # Which functions to use
//!
//! Bincode has a couple of pairs of functions that are used in different situations.
//!
//! |Situation|Encode|Decode|
//! |---|---|---
//! |You're working with [`fs::File`] or [`net::TcpStream`]|[`encode_into_std_write`]|[`decode_from_std_read`]|
//! |you're working with in-memory buffers|[`encode_to_vec`]|[`decode_from_slice`]|
//! |You want to use a custom [Reader](de::read::Reader) and [writer](enc::write::Writer)|[`encode_into_writer`]|[`decode_from_reader`]|
//! |You're working with pre-allocated buffers or on embedded targets|[`encode_into_slice`]|[`decode_from_slice`]|
//!
//! **Note:** If you're using `serde`, use `bincode::serde::...` instead of `bincode::...`
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! let mut slice = [0u8; 100];
//!
//! // You can encode any type that implements `Encode`.
//! // You can automatically implement this trait on custom types with the `derive` feature.
//! let input = (
//!     0u8,
//!     10u32,
//!     10000i128,
//!     'a',
//!     [0u8, 1u8, 2u8, 3u8]
//! );
//!
//! let length = bincode::encode_into_slice(
//!     input,
//!     &mut slice,
//!     bincode::config::standard()
//! ).unwrap();
//!
//! let slice = &slice[..length];
//! println!("Bytes written: {:?}", slice);
//!
//! // Decoding works the same as encoding.
//! // The trait used is `Decode`, and can also be automatically implemented with the `derive` feature.
//! let decoded: (u8, u32, i128, char, [u8; 4]) = bincode::decode_from_slice(slice, bincode::config::standard()).unwrap().0;
//!
//! assert_eq!(decoded, input);
//! ```
//!
//! [`fs::File`]: std::fs::File
//! [`net::TcpStream`]: std::net::TcpStream
//!
