tuple_key

A serialization format for lexicographically sorted tuples. The keys have the property that any TypedTupleKey that implements lexicographically sorted Ord, PartialOrd traits in field declaration order will serialize to a valid byte string that sorts in the same way.

Status

Active development. This library has seen recent changes to match the types of keys supported by protobuf maps. Version 0.4 reset the serialization in backwards-incompatible ways.

Scope

This crate provides everything necessary to convert a struct to and from a tuple key.

Warts

• The documentation is lacking.

Documentation

Updating

• 0.2.0 -> 0.3.0: Add schema support. Changed the encoding format in a backwards-incompatible way.
• 0.1.1 -> 0.2.0: Added support for empty tuples in named structs. Backwards-compatible otherwise.
