rkyv (archive) is a zero-copy deserialization framework for Rust.

API Documentation

• rkyv, the core library
• rkyv_dyn, which adds trait object support to rkyv
• rkyv_typename, a type naming library

Book

• The rkyv book covers the motivation and architecture of rkyv

Sister Crates:

• bytecheck, which rkyv uses for validation

rkyv in action

```rust use rkyv::{Aligned, Archive, ArchiveBuffer, Archived, archived_value, Write};

[derive(Archive)]

struct Test { int: u8, string: String, option: Option>, }

fn main() { let value = Test { int: 42, string: "hello world".to_string(), option: Some(vec![1, 2, 3, 4]), };

let mut writer = ArchiveBuffer::new(Aligned([0u8; 256]));
let pos = writer.archive(&value).expect("failed to archive test");
let buf = writer.into_inner();

let archived = unsafe { archived_value::<Test>(buf.as_ref(), pos) };
assert_eq!(archived.int, value.int);
assert_eq!(archived.string, value.string);
assert_eq!(archived.option, value.option);

} ```
