A Rust library providing types and traits (Bytes, BytesMut, Buf, BufMut) for efficiently working with byte buffers, including zero-copy operations. It supports no_std environments and optional Serde serialization.
Use cases
- handle byte buffers in rust efficiently
- zero-copy byte slicing for network protocols
- read and write binary data with Buf traits
- use byte buffers in no_std embedded rust
- serialize byte buffers with serde
When to choose
- you need efficient, zero-copy byte buffer management in Rust
- you are building network or IO code that manipulates bytes
- you need no_std or embedded support for byte handling
When to avoid
- you only need simple Vec<u8> usage without performance constraints
- you need higher-level serialization formats rather than raw bytes
