# Serde Binary Advanced

Serde Binary Advanced is a [Serde](https://crates.io/crates/serde) library enabling the serialization and deserialization of Rust objects to binary representations.

## Features

- Serialization and deserialization of Rust data structures to and from binary format
- Full support for ASCII (through `lowlevel-types`) and UTF-8 characters and strings
- Support for Big Endian and Little Endian (default) encoding
- Comprehensive error reporting
- Compression of `usize` markers for sequences and structures
- Support for `u128` and `i128` types
- Enums and variants stored as `u32`

## Limitations

- No support foe serializing or deserializing sequences or maps of unknown length

## Installation

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

```toml
[dependencies]
serde = { version = "1", features = ["derive"] }
serde_binary_adv = { version = "1.0.0-beta.3" }
lowlevel_types = { version = "1.0.0-beta.3" }
```

## Usage

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

```rust
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
use serde_binary_adv::{Serializer, Deserializer, BinaryError, Result}

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

fn main() {
    let point = Point { x: 1.0, y: 2.0 };

    let serialized = Serializer::to_bytes(&point, false).unwrap();
    let deserialized: Point = Deserializer::from_bytes(&serialized, false).unwrap();
	assert_eq!(value, deserialized,);
}
```
