Expand description
An encoding for interpreting byte data as UTF-8 text
Used in both text and binary format deserializers
It is heavily encouraged that encoding implementations are marked
as Copy
to make sure they are as cheap to copy as possible. In
an experiment storing the encoding in a Rc
resulted in a decrease
of deserialization throughput by over 10%, as encodings are passed
around everywhere.
An encoding should also perform additional actions when:
- trailing whitespace is removed
- escape sequences are unescaped
