//! Bincode is a crate for encoding and decoding using a tiny binary
//! serialization strategy.  Using it, you can easily go from having
//! an object in memory, quickly serialize it to bytes, and then
//! deserialize it back just as fast!
//!
//! # Serde
//!
//! Starting from bincode 2, serde is now an optional dependency. If you want to use serde, please enable the `serde` feature. See [Features](#features) for more information.
//!
//! # Features
//!
//! |Name  |Default?|Supported types for Encode/Decode|Enabled methods                                                  |Other|
//! |------|--------|-----------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|-----|
//! |std   | Yes    ||`decode_from_reader` and `encode_into_writer`|
//! |alloc | Yes    |All common containers in alloc, like `Vec`, `String`, `Box`|`encode_to_vec`|
//! |atomic| Yes    |All `Atomic*` integer types, e.g. `AtomicUsize`, and `AtomicBool`||
//! |derive| Yes    |||Enables the `BorrowDecode`, `Decode` and `Encode` derive macros|
//! |serde | No     |`Compat` and `BorrowCompat`, which will work for all types that implement serde's traits|serde-specific encode/decode functions in the [serde] module|Note: There are several [known issues](serde/index.html#known-issues) when using serde and bincode|
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use bincode::config::Configuration;
//!
//! let mut slice = [0u8; 100];
//!
//!     // You can encode any type that implements `enc::Encode`.
//!     // You can automatically implement this trait on custom types with the `derive` feature.
//! let input = (
//!     0u8,
//!     10u32,
//!     10000i128,
//!     'a',
//!     [0u8, 1u8, 2u8, 3u8]
//! );
//!
//! let length = bincode::encode_into_slice(
//!     input,
//!     &mut slice,
//!     Configuration::standard()
//! ).unwrap();
//!
//! let slice = &slice[..length];
//! println!("Bytes written: {:?}", slice);
//!
//! // Decoding works the same as encoding.
//! // The trait used is `de::Decode`, and can also be automatically implemented with the `derive` feature.
//! let decoded: (u8, u32, i128, char, [u8; 4]) = bincode::decode_from_slice(slice, Configuration::standard()).unwrap();
//!
//! assert_eq!(decoded, input);
//! ```
