Binary Tuples

This is a small library for working with ordered binary tuples - and is designed to be compatible with the tuples implementation bundled with FoundationDB client libraries.

This library allows use of the following data types:

• Strings
• Binary arrays
• Numbers (i64, f32, f64)
• Boolean values
• UUIDs
• Nested tuples (read supported - no api support for creation yet)

API

The easiest way to create tuples is using the exposed tuple! macro:

```rust

[macro_use]

extern crate binary_tuples;

let userid = 1; let value = tuple!("users", userid, "posts");

// Returns as a byte array let bytes = value.into_bytes(); ```

Tuples can also be deserialised into a vector of tuple segments:

```rust use binary_tuples::{Tuple, segment::Segment};

let tuple = Tuple::frombytes(...) .assegments() .unwrap();

match tuple[0] { Segment::String(value) => println!("{}", value), _ => println!("Other data type") } ```

Tuples can reused as efficient prefixes for other tuples ```rust let userstuple = tuple!("users", userid, "posts");

let post1 = tuple!(userstuple, postid1); let post2 = tuple!(userstuple, postid2); ```
