Utilities for safe zero-copy parsing and serialization.
This crate provides utilities which make it easy to perform zero-copy parsing and serialization by allowing zero-copy conversion to/from byte slices.
This is enabled by three core marker traits:
- [
FromBytes] indicates that a type may safely be converted from an arbitrary byte sequence - [
AsBytes] indicates that a type may safely be converted to a byte sequence - [
Unaligned] indicates that a type's alignment requirement is 1
Types which implement a subset of these traits can then be converted to/from byte sequences with little to no runtime overhead.
