De/Serialization Assistants
This module contains types and implementations that assist in the de/serialization of the crate’s primary data structures.
BitIdx<R>
The BitIdx implementation serializes both the index value and also the
bit-width of T::Mem, so that the deserializer can ensure that it only loads
from a matching data buffer.
Array<T, N>
Serde only provides implementations for [T; 0 ..= 32], because it must support
much older Rust versions (at time of writing, 1.15+) that do not have
const-generics. As bitvec has an MSRV of 1.56; it does have const-generics.
This type reïmplements Serde’s array behavior for all arrays, so that bitvec
can transport any BitArray rather than only small bit-arrays.
Domain<Const, T, O>
BitSlice serializes its data buffer by using Domain to produce a sequence of
elements. While the length is always known, and is additionally carried in the
crate metadata ahead of the data buffer, Domain uses Serde’s sequence model in
order to allow the major implementations to use the provided slice or vector
deserializers, rather than rebuilding even more logic from scratch.
