Module config

The config module is used to change the behavior of bincode’s encoding and decoding logic.

Important make sure you use the same config for encoding and decoding, or else bincode will not work properly.

To use a config, first create a type of Configuration. This type will implement trait Config for use with bincode.

let config = bincode::config::standard()
    // pick one of:
    .with_big_endian()
    .with_little_endian()
    // pick one of:
    .with_variable_int_encoding()
    .with_fixed_int_encoding();

See Configuration for more information on the configuration options.

Structs

BigEndian

Encodes all integer types in big endian.

Configuration

The Configuration struct is used to build bincode configurations. The Config trait is implemented by this struct when a valid configuration has been constructed.

Fixint

Use fixed-size integer encoding.

Limit

Sets the byte limit to N.

LittleEndian

Encodes all integer types in little endian.

NoLimit

Sets an unlimited byte limit.

Varint

Use variable integer encoding.

Enums

Endianness

Endianness of a Configuration.

IntEncoding

Integer Encoding of a Configuration.

Traits

Config

Indicates a type is valid for controlling the bincode configuration

Functions

legacy

Creates the “legacy” default config. This is the default config that was present in bincode 1.0

standard

The default config for bincode 2.0. By default this will be:
