sszb 0.4.0

SimpleSerialize-BigEndian (SSZB)
Documentation
//! Provides encoding (serialization) and decoding (deserialization) in the SimpleSerialize (SSZ)
//! format designed for use in Ethereum 2.0.
//!
//! Adheres to the Ethereum 2.0 but endian is switched [SSZ
//! specification](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/v0.12.1/ssz/simple-serialize.md)
//! at v0.12.1.
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use sszb_derive::{Encode, Decode};
//! use sszb::{Decode, Encode};
//!
//! #[derive(PartialEq, Debug, Encode, Decode)]
//! struct Foo {
//!     a: u64,
//!     b: Vec<u16>,
//! }
//!
//! fn sszb_encode_decode_example() {
//!     let foo = Foo {
//!         a: 42,
//!         b: vec![1, 3, 3, 7]
//!     };
//!
//!     let sszb_bytes: Vec<u8> = foo.as_sszb_bytes();
//!
//!     let decoded_foo = Foo::from_sszb_bytes(&sszb_bytes).unwrap();
//!
//!     assert_eq!(foo, decoded_foo);
//! }
//!
//! ```
//!
//! See `examples/` for manual implementations of the `Encode` and `Decode` traits.
