Trait extindex::entry::Encodable

pub trait Encodable: Send + Sized {
    fn encoded_size(&self) -> Option<usize>;
    fn encode<W: Write>(&self, write: &mut W) -> Result<(), Error>;
    fn decode<R: Read>(data: &mut R, size: usize) -> Result<Self, Error>;
}

Trait representing a structure that can be encoded / serialized to a Writer and decoded / deserialized from a Reader.

Required methods

fn encoded_size(&self) -> Option<usize>

Exact size that the encoded item will have, if known. If none is returned, the encoding will be buffered in memory.

fn encode<W: Write>(&self, write: &mut W) -> Result<(), Error>

Encodes the given item to the writer

fn decode<R: Read>(data: &mut R, size: usize) -> Result<Self, Error>

Decodes the given from the reader
