Rename crate

[xoac]

I am not quite sure name of this crate is correct. The same suggest it works with serde but it doesn't.

It transform rust types as little or big endiannes.

Any suggestions are welcome.

packed-endian-struct, maybe (given that the serialization it produces doesn't have padding AFAICT)?

[xoac]

I would propose endian_codec and I decide to use _ after reading this issue

This will also change SerializeLittleEndain trait to EncodeLEetc. because the name was to long in practical use.

How about binary_codec?

Quite nice, that name! I suppose that both of you have a look of packed_struct. It looks like it is unmaintained, and the ergonomics are not super good (e.g. I wasn't able to get started in 20 minutes), however, feature wise it looks really complete & good.

Renaming create is still an option. But:

• it has to be much better name (not just better)
• crate has to be fully implemented

I think that the name is lacking of pack word so it could be pack_(with)_endian or struct_pack_endian, endian_packed packed_struct. I think pack should replace codec since it can pack and unpack objects what is a special case of codec.

I would at this moment vote against change the name. Why?:

• the crate is not supper important
• it's already published to crates.io
• crate can be found by adding category and keywords
  at this moment there are still free slots (and endian can be removed - it's in name)

    keywords = ["no_std", "endian", "bytes"]
    categories = ["no-std", "parsing"]
  

• This crate will be probably useful with no_std environment so I added it to awesome-emebedded-rust to be easier findable

I will not go with binary_codec - because can codec be done without binary?

I still think that endian is good part in name: Look at documentation:

just PackedSize don't contains endain in name. At it's just helping trait that I would be happy to hide from the end user.

I definitely agree with not jumping on renaming too soon! I meant it more as a suggestion if the situation changes.
