<p align="center">Binary encoding for Rust values which ensures lexicographic sort ordering. Order-preserving encoding is useful for creating keys for sorted key-value stores with byte string typed keys, such as <a href="https://github.com/surrealdb/echodb">EchoDB</a>, <a href="https://github.com/surrealdb/yokudb">YokuDB</a>, <a href="https://github.com/surrealdb/indxdb">IndxDB</a>, <a href="https://github.com/tikv/tikv">TiKV</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb">SurrealDB</a>.</p>

#### Features

- Binary encoding whilst preserving lexicographic sort order
- Useful for creating keys for sorted key-value data stores
- Aims to encode values into the fewest number of bytes possible
- The exact type of a serialized value must be known in order to deserialize it
- Supports all Rust primitives, strings, options, structs, enums, vecs, and tuples
