Serde Binary Advanced

Serde Binary Advanced is a Serde library enabling the serialization and deserialization of Rust objects to raw binary representations.

Features

• Serialization and deserialization of Rust data structures to and from raw binary format
• Full support for ASCII, UTF-8, UTI-16, and UTF-32 characters and strings
• Support for enums as 8, 16, 32, or 64 bit integers
• Support for bit flags
• Comprehensive error reporting, including the nature and location of the error
• Signature checking of the source binary data when deserializing

Installation

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
serde = { version = "1", features = ["derive"] }
serde_yml = { version = "1" }

Usage

Here's a quick example on how to use Serde Binary Advanced to serialize and deserialize a struct to and from binary:

use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};

# [derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct Point {
    x: f64,
    y: f64,
}

fn main() -> Result<(), serde_yml::Error> {
    let point = Point { x: 1.0, y: 2.0 };

    // Serialize to bytes
    let raw: Vec<u8> = serde_binary_adv::to_bytes(&point)?;
    assert_eq!(yaml, vec![0x3f,0x80,0x00,0x00]);

    // Deserialize from YAML
    let deserialized_point: Point = serde_yml::from_bytes(&raw)?;
    assert_eq!(point, deserialized_point);

    Ok(())
}
