§nano-leb128

Little endian base 128 variable-length code compression.

§Usage

Signed LEB128 compression/decompression:

use nano_leb128::SLEB128;

fn rand_i64() -> i64 {
    // ...
}

let mut buf = [0; 10];
let value = rand_i64();

// Compress the value into the buffer.
let len = SLEB128::from(value).write_into(&mut buf).unwrap();

// Decompress the value from the buffer.
let (decompressed, _len) = SLEB128::read_from(&buf[..len]).unwrap();

assert_eq!(i64::from(decompressed), value);

Unsigned LEB128 compression/decompression:

use nano_leb128::ULEB128;

fn rand_u64() -> u64 {
    // ...
}

let mut buf = [0; 10];
let value = rand_u64();

// Compress the value into the buffer.
let len = ULEB128::from(value).write_into(&mut buf).unwrap();

// Decompress the value from the buffer.
let (decompressed, _len) = ULEB128::read_from(&buf[..len]).unwrap();

assert_eq!(u64::from(decompressed), value);

§Features

  • std (enabled by default)

    This enables extensions that are only available with the Rust standard library.

  • std_io_ext

    Adds methods for reading/writing LEB128 compressed values from implementors of the traits in std::io. This feature requires the std feature and will automatically enable it if it is not already enabled.

  • byteio_ext

    Adds methods for reading/writing LEB128 compressed values from implementors of the traits in byteio. This feature does not require the std feature.

Structs§

  • SLEB128
    A value that can be (de)serialized using signed LEB128 variable length compression.
  • ULEB128
    A value that can be (de)serialized using unsigned LEB128 variable length compression.
