Struct MsgpackAssetSerializationBackend 

pub struct MsgpackAssetSerializationBackend;

MessagePack-based asset serialization backend.

This backend uses rmp_serde to serialize and deserialize assets in MessagePack format. MessagePack is a compact binary format that provides efficient serialization with smaller output sizes and faster processing compared to text-based formats like JSON.

Performance Characteristics

• Serialization: Fast speed, compact binary output
• Deserialization: Fast speed, efficient memory usage
• Storage: Space-efficient binary format, ideal for production environments

Example

let backend = MsgpackAssetSerializationBackend;
// Use backend for serialization operations
asset_manager.set_serialization_backend(Box::new(backend));

Trait Implementations

impl AssetSerializationBackend for MsgpackAssetSerializationBackend

fn serialize(&self, asset: &SerializedAsset) -> Result<Vec<u8>>

Serializes a SerializedAsset to MessagePack bytes.

Uses rmp_serde internally to convert the asset to a compact binary format. MessagePack provides excellent space efficiency and fast serialization performance.

Arguments

• asset - The asset to serialize

Returns

A vector of bytes containing the MessagePack representation, or an error if serialization fails (e.g., due to unsupported data types).

fn deserialize(&self, bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<SerializedAsset>

Deserializes MessagePack bytes back into a SerializedAsset.

Parses the provided MessagePack bytes and reconstructs a SerializedAsset. The binary data must be valid MessagePack that matches the expected structure.

Arguments

• bytes - MessagePack bytes to deserialize

Returns

The reconstructed SerializedAsset, or an error if the data is corrupted or doesn’t match the expected MessagePack structure.
