unbytes 0.5.0

Panic-free reading of bytes.
Documentation

unbytes

Ergonomic, performant, owned forward-only cursors based on bytes, with some bonus features.

unbytes gives the following guarantees:

  • Never panics.
  • Never copies.
  • Never allocates.

Note that implementations involving the bytes crate can allocate. Traits like Into<Bytes>, especially on Vecs, are very likely to reallocate. unbytes can't do anything about that.

The following feature flags are available, but none are enabled by default.

  • std: Standard library support, like an std::io::Read implementation.
  • maypanic: Functionality that may panic if used improperly, like a Buf implementation.
