Serde Bin_prot

A Rust crate that adds serde support for the Bin_prot serialization format

IMPORTANT: This is a work in progress. There is not currently support for all types or full test coverage.

Usage

Following Serde convention this crate exposes a from_reader and to_writer function to serialize/deserialize bin_prot encoded streams of bytes.

This works with any Serde supported data type or any custom type annotated with #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)].

Example:

use serde_bin_prot::{from_reader, to_writer};

fn main() {
  let val: Vec<i64> = vec![20, -22, 38];

  # Example write into a vec of bytes
  let mut output = Vec::<u8>::new();
  to_writer(&mut output, &val).unwrap();

  # Read back into a typed value
  let de_val: Vec<i64> = from_reader(output.as_slice()).unwrap();
  
  assert!(val == de_val)
}

Testing

All tests can be run through cargo
