# gaia-binary
Binary encoding and decoding for the Gaia project.
## Features
- Generic binary reader and writer with position tracking.
- Support for fixed-size encoding with specific byte orders (Big Endian, Little Endian).
- Support for variable-length encoding (LEB128).
- ZigZag transformation for signed integers.
- Zero external dependencies (manually implemented byte order logic).
## Architecture
The crate is structured around the `BinaryFormat` trait, which defines how basic types are read and written.
Implementations include:
- `Fixed<E>`: Fixed-size encoding using byte order `E`.
- `Leb128<E>`: Variable-length encoding.
- `ZigZag<F>`: Wraps another format to apply ZigZag encoding to signed integers.
`BinaryReader` and `BinaryWriter` wrap any type implementing `Read` or `Write` and provide high-level methods for reading and writing data using a chosen `BinaryFormat`.
