# Binary tools

> Work in progress not ready to any practical use

Goals:

- Efficient binary serialization
- Pack/unpack byte tools
- 2 flavors of space-effecient varint packing
- CRCs and CRC-protected blocks
- Async variants

# Some publics

## SmartInt codec

Variable-length signed and unsigned integer codec, see `object SmartInt`. For not too small numbers it is slightly more effective than `VarInt` codec, for example on `Long` values it saves a byte.
