rawbin

Minimal, pure-Rust bincode-like serializer/deserializer used by the pacm project. This crate provides a small, focused implementation that supports the subset of serde types required by pacm's lockfile handling.

Features

• Pure Rust implementation (depends only on serde)
• Two length-encoding modes: fixed-width (standard) and varint (legacy)
• Configurable limits and trailing-bytes checks
• Minimal bincode1::config::DefaultOptions compatibility helpers

Quick Start

Add the crate to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
rawbin = "1"

Example usage (decoding):

use rawbin::config;
use rawbin::serde::decode_from_slice;

let data: &[u8] = &[]; // wire-format bytes
let cfg = config::standard().with_limit::<{16 * 1024 * 1024}>();
let (value, _read) = decode_from_slice::<YourType>(data, cfg).expect("decode");

Development

• Build: cargo build
• Test: cargo test
• Run CI locally with act or use GitHub Actions
