<!-- ANCHOR: description -->

This crate provides de/serialization helper for [`byte-unit`] crate to use in
combination with [serde's with-annotation]. This might be useful because it
hides a [`byte-unit`] crate as an implementation details and allows use the
simple `u64` type instead. In other words, by using this crate, your code will
not depend on the [`byte-unit`] crate.

## Example

```rust
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct Foo {
    #[serde(with = "byte_unit_serde")]
    max_size: u64,
    /// This module also supports an optional values.
    #[serde(default, with = "byte_unit_serde")]
    min_size: Option<u64>,
}
```

The idea of this crate is heavily inspired by [`humantime-serde`].
