Trait Serializable

pub trait Serializable: Sized {
    // Required methods
    fn to_bytes(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>>;
    fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Self>;
}

A trait for serializing and deserializing a type to and from a byte array. Request types and [Response] types will need to implement this trait

Required Methods

fn to_bytes(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>>

Serialize the type to a byte array. If this is for a Request and your Request type is represented as an enum, please make sure that you serialize it with a unique type ID. Otherwise, you may end up with collisions as the request hash is used as a unique identifier

Errors

• If the type cannot be serialized to a byte array

fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Self>

Deserialize the type from a byte array

Errors

• If the byte array is not a valid representation of the type

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
