Trait fuzzcheck::Serializer

pub trait Serializer {
    type Value;
    fn extension(&self) -> &str;
    fn from_data(&self, data: &[u8]) -> Option<Self::Value>;
    fn to_data(&self, value: &Self::Value) -> Vec<u8>;
}

A Serializer is used to encode and decode values into bytes.

One possible implementation would be to use serde to implement both required functions. But we also want to be able to fuzz-test types that are not serializable with serde, which is why this trait exists.

Associated Types

type Value

The type of the valeu to be serialized

Required methods

fn extension(&self) -> &str

The extension of the file containing the serialized value

fn from_data(&self, data: &[u8]) -> Option<Self::Value>

Deserialize the bytes into the value.

This method can fail by returning None

fn to_data(&self, value: &Self::Value) -> Vec<u8>

Serialize the value into bytes

This method should never fail.

Implementors

impl Serializer for ByteSerializer

type Value = Vec<u8>

impl<S> Serializer for SerdeSerializer<S> where
    S: Serialize + for<'e> Deserialize<'e>, 

type Value = S

impl<StringType> Serializer for StringSerializer<StringType> where
    StringType: ToString + FromStr, 

type Value = StringType
