rkyv Support

[JonahPlusPlus]

https://rkyv.org/

A zero-copy deserialization framework for rust. A sort of alternative to serde that has higher performance. chrono should add a feature gate where specifying "rkyv" will enable support for rkyv.

Types that should be serialized/deserialized should be given #[derive(Archive, Serialize, Deserialize, PartialEq, Debug)].

I have the implementation here but not sure if the team wants the rkyv support.

We at Traverse Research would also like to use rkyv for Chrono datatypes, are there any plans to add rkyv support to Chrono?

[Jasper-Bekkers]

Agreed - we would love to see this in chrono, @dovahcrow is there a chance you can PR this at least?
