Expand description

Trait that allows zero-copy write of value-references to slices in LE format.

Implementations should override using_encoded for value types and encode_to and size_hint for allocating types. Wrapper types should override all methods.

Provided methods

If possible give a hint of expected size of the encoding.

This method is used inside default implementation of encode to avoid re-allocations.

Convert self to a slice and append it to the destination.

Convert self to an owned vector.

Convert self to a slice and then invoke the given closure with it.

Calculates the encoded size.

Should be used when the encoded data isn’t required.

Note

This works by using a special Output that only tracks the size. So, there are no allocations inside the output. However, this can not prevent allocations that some types are doing inside their own encoding.
