README

A fast binary serialization framework

Documentation

The goal of this crate is to provide fast, simple and easy binary serialization.

Benchmarks

See rust_serialization_benchmark for benchmarks.

Example

use std::borrow::Cow;
use speedy::{Readable, Writable, Endianness};

#[derive(PartialEq, Debug, Readable, Writable)]
enum Enum {
    A,
    B,
    C,
}

#[derive(PartialEq, Debug, Readable, Writable)]
struct Struct< 'a > {
    number: u64,
    string: String,
    vector: Vec< u8 >,
    cow: Cow< 'a, [i64] >,
    float: f32,
    enumeration: Enum
}

fn main() {
    let original = Struct {
        number: 0x12345678ABCDEF00,
        string: "A totally pointless string".to_owned(),
        vector: vec![ 1, 2, 3 ],
        cow: Cow::Borrowed( &[ 4, 5, 6 ] ),
        float: 3.1415,
        enumeration: Enum::C
    };

    let bytes = original.write_to_vec().unwrap();
    let deserialized: Struct =
        Struct::read_from_buffer( &bytes ).unwrap();

    assert_eq!( original, deserialized );
}

Supported types

Out-of-box the following types are supported:

Type Serialized as
u8 as-is
u16 as-is
u32 as-is
u64 as-is
usize u64
i8 as-is
i16 as-is
i32 as-is
i64 as-is
f32 as-is
f64 as-is
bool u8, either 0 or 1
char u32
String {length: u32, bytes: [u8]}
Cow<'a, str> {length: u32, bytes: [u8]}
Vec<T> {length: u32, values: [T]}
Cow<'a, [T]> {length: u32, values: [T]}
HashMap<K, V> {length: u32, values: [K, V]}
BTreeMap<K, V> {length: u32, values: [K, V]}
HashSet<T> {length: u32, values: [T]}
BTreeSet<T> {length: u32, values: [T]}
Range<T> (T, T)
RangeInclusive<T> (T, T)
Option<T> (1_u8, T) or 0_u8
Result<T, E> (1_u8, T) or (0_u8, E)
() nothing
(T) as-is
(T, T) as-is
(T, .., T) as-is
enums {tag: u32, variant: T}
AtomicU8 u8
AtomicI8 i8
AtomicU16 u16
AtomicI16 i16
AtomicU32 u32
AtomicI32 i32
AtomicU64 u64
AtomicI64 i64
NonZeroU32 u32
std::net::Ipv4Addr u32
std::net::Ipv6Addr u128
std::net::IpAddr {is_ipv4: u8, value: {u32 or u128}}
std::time::Duration {secs: u64, subsec_nanos: u32}
std::time::SystemTime std::time::Duration since UNIX_EPOCH
uuid::Uuid [u8; 16]

These are stable and will not change in the future.

Field attributes

#[speedy(length = $expr)]

Can be used on most standard containers to specify the field's length. Can refer to any of the previous fields.

For example:

use speedy::{Readable, Writable};

#[derive(Readable, Writable)]
struct Struct {
    byte_count: u8,
    #[speedy(length = byte_count / 4)]
    data: Vec< u32 >
}

Before serializing you need to make sure that whatever is set as length is equal to the .len() of the field; if it's not then you will get an error when trying to serialize it.

Setting this attribute changes the serialization format as follows:

Type Serialized as
Vec<T> [T]
Cow<'a, [T]> [T]
String [u8]
Cow<'a, str> [u8]
HashMap<K, V> [K, V]
BTreeMap<K, V> [K, V]
HashSet<T> [T]
BTreeSet<T> [T]

#[speedy(length_type = $ty)]

Can be used to specify the exact size of the implicit length field of a container as it is read or written.

Possible values:

  • u7 (same as u8, but restricted to 7 bits for u64_varint compatibility)
  • u8
  • u16
  • u32 (default)
  • u64_varint

#[speedy(varint)]

Can be used only on u64 fields. Forces the field to be serialized as a varint.

#[speedy(skip)]

Skips a given field when reading and writing.

#[speedy(default_on_eof)]

If an EOF is encountered when reading this field its value will be set to the default value for its type and the EOF will be ignored.

#[speedy(constant_prefix = $expr)]

Specifies a static string of bytes which will be written or has to be present when reading before a given field.

Enum attributes

#[speedy(tag_type = $ty)]

Can be used to specify the exact size of the enum's tag as it is read or written.

Possible values:

  • u7 (same as u8, but restricted to 7 bits for u64_varint compatibility)
  • u8
  • u16
  • u32 (default)
  • u64_varint

#[speedy(peek_tag)]

An enum marked with this attribute will not consume its tag value when reading from a stream, nor will it write its own tag when writing.

Enum variant attributes

#[speedy(tag = $expr)]

Specifies a preset tag value to be used for a given enum variant.
