Struct vessels::format::bincode::Bincode

pub struct Bincode;

A format implementing bincode.

bincode is a Rust-specific compact binary over-the-wire format with the unique guarantee of providing smaller or equivalent over-the-wire size for any type as compared to the size of that type in-memory. Unlike JSON and CBOR it is not self describing (but therefore substantially more compact) and given that it is tighly tied to the in-memory layout of Rust data structures it lacks guarantees of stability or compatability across Rust versions. It is, however, entirely validated and safe for untrusted input, and is very performant.

For this format to be used the bincode feature must be enabled.

Trait Implementations

impl Format for Bincode

type Representation = Vec<u8>

The underlying representation used by this Format, i.e. Vec<u8> for most binary formats and String for those of a human-readable nature.

type Error = Error

The failure condition of this format. This may be encountered during deserialization.

fn serialize<T: Serialize>(item: T) -> Self::Representation

Serializes the provided item.

fn deserialize<'de, T: DeserializeSeed<'de>>(
    item: Self::Representation,
    context: T
) -> Fallible<T::Value, (Self::Error, Self::Representation)> where
    T: Sync + Send + 'static, 

Deserializes an item from the provided formatted representation.
