# Crate for encoding/decoding bencode

What is bencode? It's the encoding mostly used in `.torrent` files and BitTorrent protocol.
For more info see [bep_0003](https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0003.html).

# Quick example

See `examples` directory

```rust
#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct MetaInfo {
    info: Info,
    announce: String,
    #[serde(rename = "announce-list")]
    announce_list: Option<Vec<Vec<String>>>,
    #[serde(rename = "creation date")]
    creation_date: Option<u64>,
    comment: Option<String>,
    #[serde(rename = "created by")]
    created_by: Option<String>,
    encoding: Option<String>,
}

fn main(){
    let string = serde_bencoded::to_string(&MetaInfo{...}).unwrap;
    let mi: MetaInfo = serde_bencoded::from_str(&string).unwrap();
}
```
