pack-io 0.3.0

Compact binary wire format with schema evolution and zero-copy deserialization for Rust. The serialization substrate under network-protocol and Hive DB.
Documentation
//! Stream-encode a sequence of messages into a file, then stream-decode them
//! back. Demonstrates the `IoEncoder<W>` / `IoDecoder<R>` pair and the
//! `encode_into` / `decode_from` convenience helpers.
//!
//! Run with: `cargo run --example streaming_io --release`
