pack-io 1.0.1

Compact binary wire format with schema evolution and zero-copy deserialization for Rust. The serialization substrate under network-protocol and Hive DB.
Documentation
//! `#[derive(pack_io::Serialize, pack_io::Deserialize)]` on every kind of
//! struct and enum the derive supports — named-field structs, tuple
//! structs, unit structs, generics, and enums with every variant shape.
//!
//! Run with: `cargo run --example derive_intro --features derive --release`
