gix-object 0.59.0

This crate provides types for [read-only git objects][crate::ObjectRef] backed by bytes provided in git's serialization format as well as [mutable versions][Object] of these. Both types of objects can be encoded.

Decode Borrowed Objects

let object = gix_object::ObjectRef::from_loose(b"blob 5\0hello", gix_hash::Kind::Sha1).unwrap();
let blob = object.as_blob().unwrap();

assert_eq!(blob.data, b"hello");
assert_eq!(object.kind(), gix_object::Kind::Blob);

Mutate And Encode Owned Objects

use gix_object::WriteTo;

let object = gix_object::ObjectRef::from_loose(b"blob 5\0hello", gix_hash::Kind::Sha1)
    .unwrap()
    .into_owned()
    .unwrap();
let mut blob = object.into_blob();
blob.data.extend_from_slice(b" world");

let mut out = Vec::new();
blob.write_to(&mut out).unwrap();
assert_eq!(out, b"hello world");
assert_eq!(blob.loose_header().as_slice(), b"blob 11\0");
