Expand description
Newtypes for &[u8]
and Vec<u8>
.
To support specialised encoding and decoding of byte slices and vectors,
which are represented as CBOR bytes instead of arrays of u8
s, the types
ByteSlice
and ByteVec
(requires feature “std”) are provided. These
implement Encode
and Decode
by translating to and from CBOR bytes.
If the feature “derive” is present, specialised traits EncodeBytes
and
DecodeBytes
are also provided. These are implemented for the
aforementioned newtypes as well as for their Option
variations and
regular &[u8]
and Vec<u8>
. They enable the direct use of &[u8]
and
Vec<u8>
in types deriving Encode
and Decode
if used with a
#[cbor(with = "minicbor::bytes")]
annotation.
