bincode 0.8.0

`bincode` is a crate for encoding and decoding using a tiny binary serialization strategy. There are simple functions for encoding to `Vec` and decoding from `&[u8]`, but the meat of the library is the `encode_into` and `decode_from` functions which respectively allow encoding into a `std::io::Writer` and decoding from a `std::io::Buffer`. ## Modules Until "default type parameters" lands, we have an extra module called `endian_choice` that duplicates all of the core bincode functionality but with the option to choose which endianness the integers are encoded using. The default endianness is little. ### Using Basic Functions ```rust extern crate bincode; use bincode::{serialize, deserialize, Bounded}; fn main() { // The object that we will serialize. let target = Some("hello world".to_string()); // The maximum size of the encoded message. let limit = Bounded(20); let encoded: Vec = serialize(&target, limit).unwrap(); let decoded: Option = deserialize(&encoded[..]).unwrap(); assert_eq!(target, decoded); } ```
