}Expand description
Describes how to encode objects into a byte sequence.
Required Methods§
Provided Methods§
Sourcefn get_encoded(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, CodecError>
fn get_encoded(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, CodecError>
Convenience method to encode a value into a new Vec<u8>.
Sourcefn encoded_len(&self) -> Option<usize>
fn encoded_len(&self) -> Option<usize>
Returns an optional hint indicating how many bytes will be required to encode this value, or
None by default.
