Trait Serializer

pub trait Serializer {
    type Value;

    // Required methods
    fn extension(&self) -> &str;
    fn from_data(&self, data: &[u8]) -> Option<Self::Value>;
    fn to_data(&self, value: &Self::Value) -> Vec<u8> ;
}

A Serializer is used to encode and decode test cases into bytes.

It is used to transfer test cases between the corpus on the file system and the fuzzer’s storage.

Required Associated Types

type Value

The type of the value to be serialized

Required Methods

fn extension(&self) -> &str

The extension of the file containing the serialized value

fn from_data(&self, data: &[u8]) -> Option<Self::Value>

Deserialize the bytes into the value.

This method can fail by returning None

fn to_data(&self, value: &Self::Value) -> Vec<u8>

Serialize the value into bytes

This method should never fail.
