Serializer/deserializer library for C99 ======================================= This library hopes to be useful under certain circumstances where a portable implementation is desired to read/write data streams yet endianness and alignment requirements need to be taken into account e.g.: network protocols, file formats, etc. As the title specifies, only a C99-compliant compiler is required. Only 8-bit and 16/32-bit little-endian and big-endian values are supported. This means no support for bit fields, as some aspects of bit fields are implementation-defined. Usage ------ ```{c} #include "serializer.h" #include #include int main() { struct { uint8_t a; uint16_t b; uint32_t c; uint16_t d; } ex; static const uint8_t data[] = { 0x01, 0x33, 0xFF, 0xAC, 0xBB, 0xFA, 0xFA, 0xDE, 0xDE }; deserialize("1/le2/be4/be2", &ex, sizeof ex, data, sizeof data); printf("a=%X, b=%X, c=%X, d=%X\n", ex.a, ex.b, ex.c, ex.d); return 0; } ``` Output ------ `a=1, b=FF33, c=ACBBFAFA, d=DEDE` TODO ---- Only deserialization is implemented. Serialization will be implemented in the future. 64-bit support.
