Are there any serialization crates that do Varint encoding without Zigzag encoding?
I would look at speedy which is, as the name suggests, pretty fast. It encodes varints in a way that's different from LEB128, and is much quicker to both encode and decode. The format they use is at the top of this file -- you can do it just with a couple of shifts and masks, and decoding is similarly fast. Speedy also hard-branches in the code with a switch statement based on how many bytes you need, which in my tests is something like 2x faster than the alternative, despite it being a branch (it's just turns into a lookup table in assembly).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing pguint and speedy you can also consider the following projects:
scale-info - Info about SCALE encodable Rust types
postcard - A no_std + serde compatible message library for Rust
ssh_format - Data format used to communicate with openssh mux server.
serde - Serialization framework for Rust
parity-scale-codec - Lightweight, efficient, binary serialization and deserialization codec
