Binary encoding for Rust values which ensures lexicographic sort ordering. Order-preserving encoding is useful for creating keys for sorted key-value stores with byte string typed keys, such as EchoDB, YokuDB, IndxDB, TiKV, and SurrealDB.
- Binary encoding whilst preserving lexicographic sort order
- Useful for creating keys for sorted key-value data stores
- Aims to encode values into the fewest number of bytes possible
- The exact type of a serialized value must be known in order to deserialize it
- Supports all Rust primitives, strings, options, structs, enums, vecs, and tuples
