# kevy-resp
A zero-dependency [RESP] (REdis Serialization Protocol) codec in pure Rust.
Part of [kevy](https://crates.io/crates/kevy), a single-machine, Redis-compatible
key–value server — but usable standalone for anything that speaks RESP.
- **Incremental parsing** — [`parse_command`] returns `Ok(None)` when the buffer
holds only a partial frame, so it drops straight into a streaming read loop.
- **Both request forms** — RESP2 multi-bulk (`*N\r\n$len\r\n…`) and inline
(`PING\r\n`).
- **Reply encoders** that append to a caller-owned `Vec<u8>` (no per-call
allocation): simple strings, errors, integers, bulk/null-bulk, array headers.
- **Zero dependencies**, `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]`-friendly (no `unsafe`).
```rust
use kevy_resp::{encode_simple_string, parse_command};
let (cmd, consumed) = parse_command(b"*1\r\n$4\r\nPING\r\n").unwrap().unwrap();
assert_eq!(cmd, vec![b"PING".to_vec()]);
assert_eq!(consumed, 14);
let mut out = Vec::new();
encode_simple_string(&mut out, "PONG");
assert_eq!(out, b"+PONG\r\n");
```
