§Serde Binary Advanced

Serde Binary Advanced is a Serde library enabling the serialization and deserialization of Rust objects to binary representations.

§Features

  • Serialization and deserialization of Rust data structures to and from binary format
  • Full support for ASCII (through lowlevel-types) and UTF-8 characters and strings
  • Support for Big Endian and Little Endian (default) encoding
  • Comprehensive error reporting
  • Compression of usize markers for sequences and structures
  • Support for u128 and i128 types
  • Enums and variants stored as u32

§Limitations

  • No support foe serializing or deserializing sequences or maps of unknown length

§Installation

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
serde = { version = "1", features = ["derive"] }
serde_binary_adv = { version = "1.0.0-beta.3" }
lowlevel_types = { version = "1.0.0-beta.3" }

§Usage

Here’s a quick example on how to use Serde Binary Advanced to serialize and deserialize a struct to and from binary:

use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
use serde_binary_adv::{Serializer, Deserializer, BinaryError, Result}

struct Point {
    x: f64,
    y: f64,
}

fn main() {
    let point = Point { x: 1.0, y: 2.0 };

    let serialized = Serializer::to_bytes(&point, false).unwrap();
    let deserialized: Point = Deserializer::from_bytes(&serialized, false).unwrap();
	assert_eq!(value, deserialized,);
}
