Lib.rs

Binary encoding for Rust values which ensures lexicographic sort ordering. Order-preserving encoding is useful for creating keys for sorted key-value stores with byte string typed keys, such as EchoDB, MemoDB, IndxDB, SurrealKV, and SurrealDB.

Features

• Binary encoding whilst preserving lexicographic sort order
• Useful for creating keys for sorted key-value data stores
• Aims to encode values into the fewest number of bytes possible
• The exact type of a serialized value must be known in order to deserialize it
• Supports all Rust primitives, strings, options, structs, enums, vecs, and tuples
