Serde UBJSON (Universal Binary JSON)

serdeubjson is UBJSON serialization format implementation for Rust/Serde

Why

Structure: this format is structurally equivalent to JSON, and has the same set of data types (numbers, booleans, strings, arrays and objects).

Size: null, true and false values are 75% smaller, large numeric values are ~50% smaller, array and object containers are 1-byte-per-value smaller.

Parsing: boolean and numeric values are not encoded as strings - they are represented as bytes and do not require parsing, strings are byte arrays with length, which means they can always be safely deserialized as string slices without data copying.

How to install

shell cargo add serde_ub_json

Or add as a dependency in Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] serde_ub_json = "0.1"

How to use

```rust use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize}; use serdeubjson::{Result, tobytes, frombytes};

//...

[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]

struct Person { name: String, age: u8, }

//...

let p = Person { name: "John Doe", age: 43 };

let bytes = tobytes(&p)?; // serialize let person = frombytes::<'_, Person>(&bytes)?; // deserialize

asserteq!(p.name, person.name); asserteq!(p.age, person.age); ```
