Module bitcoin::consensus::serde

Serde serialization via consensus encoding

This provides functions for (de)serializing any type as consensus-encoded bytes. For human-readable formats it serializes as a string with a consumer-supplied encoding, for binary formats it serializes as a sequence of bytes (not serialize_bytes to avoid allocations).

The string encoding has to be specified using a marker type implementing the encoding strategy. This crate provides hex encoding via Hex<Upper> and Hex<Lower>

Modules

• hex
  Implements hex encoding.

Structs

• Hex

• With
  Helper for #[serde(with = "")].

Traits

• ByteDecoder
  Provides an instance of string-to-byte decoder.
• ByteEncoder
  Provides an instance of byte-to-string encoder.
• EncodeBytes
  Transforms given bytes and writes to the writer.
• IntoDeError
  Converts error into a type implementing serde::de::Error
