This crate is a wrapper around redb
that makes keys and values require T: bincode::Encode + bincode::Decode
and serialize as a big-endian bincode, which makes working with redb
much more convenient.
It does also include a couple of minor deviations from redb, but stays
faithful to the original API.
It was born from personal need, and at the time of writing this, contains only things that I actually needed. Having said that adding missing bits should be as simple as copy-paste-modify existing code, and contributions are welcome. Just be aware that you might need to get your hands dirty if you're planning to use it.
Notably bincode pre-release version is used.
The approach used in this crate might be a bit heavy, but should
work for any serialization format, serde-based or not.
