### rust-fr

'rust-fr' (aka `rust for real`) is a simple, non-self-describing data-interchange format.
'rust-fr' aka 'rust for real' is a simple data-interchange format that is better than [serde_json](https://github.com/serde-rs/json)
but not as awesome & compact as other binary formats like [ciborium](https://github.com/enarx/ciborium) & [msgpack-rust](https://github.com/3Hren/msgpack-rust).

### benchmark.

- Run `cargo test -- --nocapture --ignored` to run the benchmark tests.

### why?

The goal was to learn/understand. I wrote this so I can learn how serde internally works
The aim was to learn. I wrote this so I can learn how serde internally works
and how to encode data into bytes that can ultimately be transferred over the wire
or elsewhere.

### format specification.

- The format is not self-describing.
- Primitive types are serialized as is.
- bool: 0 -> false, 1 -> true (1 byte)
- i8, i16, i32, i64: as is.
- u8, u16, u32, u64: as is.
- f32, f64: as is.
- char: as u32 (4 bytes)
- Delimiters are used to separate different types of data.
- String, Byte and Map Delimiters are 1 byte long while all other delimiters are 3 bits long.
- Delimiters:
- String = 134; 0b10000110
- Byte = 135; 0b10000111
- Unit = 2; 0b010
- Seq = 3; 0b011
- SeqValue = 4; 0b100
- Map = 139; 0b10001011
- MapKey = 6; 0b110
- MapValue = 7; 0b111
- Delimiters are all serailized as a u8 (1 byte)
- Delimiters Used (the values themselves are arbitrary and could be swapped):
- STRING_DELIMITER: 0x01
- BYTE_DELIMITER: 0x02
- UNIT: 0x03
- SEQ_DELIMITER: 0x04
- SEQ_VALUE_DELIMITER: 0x05
- MAP_DELIMITER: 0x06
- MAP_KEY_DELIMITER: 0x07
- MAP_VALUE_DELIMITER: 0x08
- String, Bytes, Unit, Option are serialized as:
- str: bytes + STRING_DELIMITER
- bytes: bytes + BYTE_DELIMITER
