[cobs.rs]: https://github.com/awelkie/cobs.rs [postcard]: https://docs.rs/postcard [@jamesmunns]: https://github.com/jamesmunns This is an implementation of the Consistent Overhead Byte Stuffing (COBS) algorithm in Rust. COBS is an algorithm for transforming a message into an encoding where a specific value (the "sentinel" value) is not used. This value can then be used to mark frame boundaries in a serial communication channel. See www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_Overhead_Byte_Stuffing for details. ## License Licensed under either of * Apache License, Version 2.0, ([LICENSE-APACHE](LICENSE-APACHE) or http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) * MIT license ([LICENSE-MIT](LICENSE-MIT) or http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) at your option. ### Contribution Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions.
