Bytes

A utility library for working with bytes.

Documentation

Usage

To use bytes, first add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
bytes = "1"

Next, add this to your crate:

use bytes::{Bytes, BytesMut, Buf, BufMut};

no_std support

To use bytes with no_std environment, disable the (enabled by default) std feature.

[dependencies]
bytes = { version = "1", default-features = false }

To use bytes with no_std environment without atomic CAS, such as thumbv6m, you also need to enable the extra-platforms feature. See the documentation for the portable-atomic crate for more information.

The MSRV when extra-platforms feature is enabled depends on the MSRV of portable-atomic.

Serde support

Serde support is optional and disabled by default. To enable use the feature serde.

[dependencies]
bytes = { version = "1", features = ["serde"] }

The MSRV when serde feature is enabled depends on the MSRV of serde.

Building documentation

When building the bytes documentation the docsrs option should be used, otherwise feature gates will not be shown. This requires a nightly toolchain:

RUSTDOCFLAGS="--cfg docsrs" cargo +nightly doc
