Types that can be used to serialize and deserialize types inside databases.

How to choose the right type to store things in this database? For specific types you can choose:

But if you want to store big types that can be efficiently deserialized then here is a little table to help you in your quest:

Available types	Encoding type	Decoding type	allocations
`CowSlice`	`&[T]`	`Cow<[T]>`	will allocate if memory is miss-aligned
`CowType`	`&T`	`Cow<T>`	will allocate if memory is miss-aligned
`OwnedSlice`	`&[T]`	`Vec<T>`	will always allocate
`OwnedType`	`&T`	`T`	will always allocate
`UnalignedSlice`	`&[T]`	`&[T]`	will never allocate because alignement is always valid
`UnalignedType`	`&T`	`&T`	will never allocate because alignement is always valid

Structs

Describes a slice that must be memory aligned and will be reallocated if it is not.

Describes a type that must be memory aligned and will be reallocated if it is not.

A convenient struct made to ignore the type when decoding it.

Describes a Vec of types that are totally owned (doesn’t hold any reference to the original slice).

Describes a type that is totally owned (doesn’t hold any reference to the original slice).

Describes a type that is Serialize/Deserialize and uses bincode to do so.

Describes a type that is Serialize/Deserialize and uses serde_json to do so.

Describes an str.

Describes a type that is totally borrowed and doesn’t depends on any memory alignment.

Describes a slice that is totally borrowed and doesn’t depends on any memory alignment.

Describes the () type.

Describes a slice of bytes [u8] that is totally borrowed and doesn’t depends on any memory alignment.
