fastnbt crate
Documentation: docs.rs
Fast (or trying to be!) deserializer and parser for Minecraft: Java Edition's NBT format.
Includes
- a serde based deserializer for NBT for deserialization.
- a lower level parser using the
Readtrait.
The derserializer allows you to avoid allocations where possible. Strings can be
deserialized to &'a str where 'a is the lifetime of the data being
deserialized. This can also be done for lists of any integral type into
&'a [u8]. The same applies to the Array types in NBT.
See the documentation for more information.
