Trait EncodableTo 

pub trait EncodableTo<T> { }

Marker trait indicating that type E can be encoded from type T.

This trait is used to constrain the Encoder trait and ensure type safety at compile time. It prevents invalid conversions by requiring explicit implementation for each valid type pair.

Purpose

This trait serves as a compile-time guard. Without it, any type could attempt to encode into any other type, leading to potential runtime errors. By requiring EncodableTo<T> to be implemented, the compiler can verify that a conversion is valid before allowing the Encoder implementation.

Implementation

This trait has no methods and serves only as a marker. Implement it for destination types that can be encoded from a source type:

use tsumiki::encoder::EncodableTo;

struct MySourceType;
struct MyEncodedType;

// Allow MySourceType to be encoded to MyEncodedType
impl EncodableTo<MySourceType> for MyEncodedType {}
