README
This Library is still pre-0.1.0 the API is therefore in heavy flux, and everything should be considered alpha!
A small library for conveniently working with immutables bytes from different sources, providing zero-copy slicing and cloning.
Access itself is extremely cheap via no-op conversion to a &[u8].
The storage mechanism backing the bytes can be extended
and is implemented for a variety of sources already,
including other byte handling crates Bytes, mmap-ed files,
Strings and Zerocopy types.
