Trait Symbol 

pub trait Symbol<const N: usize> {
    // Required methods
    fn to_bytes(&self) -> [u8; N];
    fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8; N]) -> Self;
}

A trait to implement on everything that can be an item for a Encoder or a Decoder.

Example implementation for u64:

impl Symbol<8> for u64 {
  fn to_bytes(&self) -> [u8; 8] {
    self.to_be_bytes()
  }
  fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8; 8]) -> Self {
    Self::from_be_bytes(*bytes)
  }
}

Required Methods

fn to_bytes(&self) -> [u8; N]

Turn the value to a sequence of bytes

fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8; N]) -> Self

Get a value from a sequence of bytes

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
