Data & Value Encoding

There are separate traits for handling encoded data and encoded values.

The src/data folder holds the traits: Encoder, StringEncoder, Decoder and Validator. These traits provide an interface for encoders that operate on byte slices, such as base-64 & hex.

The src/value folder holds the traits: EncodedLen, EncodeToSlice, EncodeToWrite etc. These traits provide an interface for values that know how to encode and decode themselves such as var-int.

Future Work

• Write better test cases and add fuzz testing.
• Optimize encoding & decoding performance & memory usage.
• Add third-party crate support for encodings (ex: faster-hex).
• Add support for serde.
• Add support for async contexts.
• Add support for no-std contexts.
• Review unsafe code.
