Trait Codec 

pub trait Codec<T> {
    // Required methods
    fn encode(&self, value: &T) -> Result<Vec<u8>>;
    fn decode(&self, bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<T>;
}

Encodes and decodes values of type T to and from byte buffers.

A codec is the bridge between in-memory values and the bytes carried by a Transport or persisted by a Store.

Required Methods

fn encode(&self, value: &T) -> Result<Vec<u8>>

Encodes a value into a byte buffer.

Arguments

• value - the value to serialize.

Returns

A byte buffer containing the encoded representation of value.

Errors

Returns Error::Codec if the value cannot be encoded.

fn decode(&self, bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<T>

Decodes a value from a byte buffer.

Arguments

• bytes - the encoded representation to deserialize.

Returns

The value decoded from bytes.

Errors

Returns Error::Codec if bytes is not a valid encoding of T.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
