Module rustc_serialize::serialize

Support code for encoding and decoding types.

Macros

• direct_serialize_impls 🔒
• peel 🔒
• tuple 🔒

Constants

• STR_SENTINEL 🔒
  A byte that cannot occur in UTF8 sequences. Used to mark the end of a string. This way we can skip validation and still be relatively sure that deserialization did not desynchronize.

Traits

• Decodable
  Trait for types that can be deserialized
• Decoder
  This current does not support f32 nor f64, as they’re not needed in any serialized data structures. That could be changed, but consider whether it really makes sense to store floating-point values at all. (If you need it, revert https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/109984.)
• Encodable
  Trait for types that can be serialized
• Encoder
  A note about error handling.
