Trait Serialize

Source

pub trait Serialize: SchemaWrite {
    // Provided methods
    fn serialize(src: &Self::Src) -> WriteResult<Vec<u8>> { ... }
    fn serialize_into(dst: &mut impl Writer, src: &Self::Src) -> WriteResult<()> { ... }
    fn serialized_size(src: &Self::Src) -> WriteResult<u64> { ... }
}

Expand description

Helper over SchemaWrite that automatically constructs a writer and serializes a source.

§Examples

Using containers (indirect serialization):

let vec: Vec<u8> = vec![1, 2, 3];
type Src = containers::Vec<u8>;
let bytes = Src::serialize(&vec).unwrap();
let deserialized: Vec<u8> = wincode::deserialize(&bytes).unwrap();
assert_eq!(vec, deserialized);

Using direct serialization (T::Src = T):

let vec: Vec<u8> = vec![1, 2, 3];
let bytes = wincode::serialize(&vec).unwrap();
let deserialized: Vec<u8> = wincode::deserialize(&bytes).unwrap();
assert_eq!(vec, deserialized);
