bipack_ru

This is Bipack format implementation, minimalistic by purpose.

work in progress.

Already implemented:

The following parts are already safe to use

• u8, u16, u32, u64, smartint variable-length unsigned
• i8, i16, i32, i64, smartint variable-length signed
• strings (utf8, variable length)
• fixed byte arrays
• variable length byte arrays

The sample code (see src/lib.rs for more:)

fn test() {
    let mut data = Vec::<u8>::new();
    data.put_str("Hello, rupack!");
    println!("size ${}\n{}", data.len(), to_dump(&data));
    let mut src = SliceSource::from(&data);
    assert_eq!("Hello, rupack!", src.get_str().unwrap());
}

Tools and macros

• to_dump to convert binary slice into human-readable dump
• 'StringBuilder' super minimalistic string builder (footprint).

At the moment it does not include serde module as it is yet unclear how much it will increase .wasm size. Could be added later.

The autodoc documentation is good enough already, so we do not repeat it here now.

How to

• just ad this package to your dependencies, it is on crates.io.
