Expand description

A serialization format.

Required Associated Types§

type Error: From<Error> + Debug + Display

The error type this format produces.

Required Methods§

fn serialize_into<W>(&self, value: &T, writer: W) -> Result<(), Self::Error>where W: Write,

Serialize value into writer.

Provided Methods§

fn serialized_size(&self, value: &T) -> Result<Option<usize>, Self::Error>

Return the number of bytes value will need to be serialized, or None if pre-measuring is not implemented for this format.

fn serialize(&self, value: &T) -> Result<Vec<u8, Global>, Self::Error>

Serialize value into a Vec<u8>.
