Desse

Desse aims to be an ultra fast binary serialization and deserialization library for Rust. Throughout the whole development, performance will take priority over all other things. Every change will be benchmarked rigorously and will not be allowed if it degrades performance without sufficient feature addition.

Development Roadmap

Below is a high level development plan for desse crate:

Phase 1: Minimum Viable Product (v0.1.*)

  • Serialization and deserialization of structs with constant size (known at compile time) using derive macro.
  • Serialization and deserialization of enums with constant size (known at compile time) using derive macro.
  • Add support for no_std environments.
  • Implement Desse trait for char and bool.
  • Add serialize_into function to Desse trait for in-place serialization (less copying of bytes).

Phase 2: Binary Encoding Scheme (v0.2.*)

  • Develop a backwards compatible binary encoding scheme (implement as an optional feature).
  • Support for user defined encoding scheme.
  • Better error handling during deserialization. Desse::deserialize_from() now returns Result.

Phase 3: Generics (v0.3.*)

  • Serialization and deserialization of structs and enums with generics (generics should either be const or should implement Desse trait).

Phase 4: Dynamically Allocated Data (v0.4.*)

  • Serialization and deserialization of dynamically allocated types, such as, String, Vec, etc. (implement as an optional/default feature).

Release: Stabilization (v0.5.*)

  • Bug fixes and stabilization of APIs.
  • Release as LTS.
