serde-intern

A Serde addon that allows interning of strings and byte sequences behind Arcs during deserialization.

Serde comes with an "rc" feature flag already. However:

Deserializing a data structure containing reference-counted pointers will not attempt to deduplicate references to the same data. Every deserialized pointer will end up with a strong count of 1.

Unlike the stock Rc / Arc deserialization available in the main Serde crate, these custom deserializer functions will find duplicate values and instead of wrapping each of them into an individual Arc it will reuse the existing arcs.

See API documentation for more information.
