rkyv_rpc

Synopsis

This crate provides a macro to declare an enum specifically to carry RPC commands in such a way as to ensure cross-endian and backwards compatibility.

Unlike #[derive(rkyv::Archive)], this implementation create a custom enum discriminator for which the bytes are mirrored, creating the same representation regardless or endianness. Furthermore, this allows for discriminators larger than 1 byte, allowing one to space out custom discriminator values to allow for older software to still accept the same data structures while gracefully failing to recognize newer discriminants.

Furthermore, a framed codec is provided for safely reading and writing binary streams of rkyv objects.

Cargo Features

• codec (default) - Enables the Encoder/Decoder implementations to write/read rkyv objects to byte buffers and AsyncWrite/AsyncRead streams via tokio's Framed
• unaligned - Enable unaligned accesses by default for rkyv. This saves an extra clone of the incoming bytes before decoding.
