# serde-bytes-ng
Integrate [`serde_bytes`](https://crates.io/crates/serde_bytes) and generic byte array support.

The goal is the contribute to upstream `serde_bytes`, but because lack of response from its author, 
create a separate crate with generic byte array support plus latest `serde_bytes` codes so that can
be released as one crate.

## Example

```rust
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};

#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize)]
struct Efficient<'a> {
    #[serde(with = "serde_bytes_ng")]
    bytes: &'a [u8],

    #[serde(with = "serde_bytes_ng")]
    byte_buf: Vec<u8>,

    #[serde(with = "serde_bytes_ng")]
    byte_array: [u8; 188],

    #[serde(with = "serde_bytes_ng", borrow)]
    byte_array_ref: &'a [u8; 188],

}
```
