Bytes Alternatives

bytes reviews and mentions

• Bytes
  1 project | /r/rust | 30 Sep 2023

  Many Rust code examples I come across online represent bytes as &[u8] or Vec. However, there is a Bytes crate. Is there any reason for preferring the vector or the slice instead of this crate for bytes?

• How do I give up ownership when passing to a different thread without using clone?
  1 project | /r/rust | 13 Dec 2021

  Take a look at the Bytes crate. With it, one can buffer bytes into a BufMut, and send borrowed slices as Bytes. Once the Bytes are freed, the BufMut takes care of reusing the capacity. Several of the web server frameworks use this, so it's fairly mature.

• Tokio Console Dev Diary #1
  3 projects | /r/rust | 8 Sep 2021

  The project is led by the Tokio community — most of the implementation so far has been done by people who are Tokio project maintainers. Tokio hosts a number of libraries that aren't tightly coupled to the tokio crate's runtime, like prost and bytes. The name just means that the same group of people is committed to working on and maintaining it. :)

• Why can’t unsafe code trust safe code?
  1 project | /r/rust | 18 Jun 2021

  Oh an libraries (or the std library) that want to write unsafe code that relies on some Trait's invariant will mark that trait `unsafe`, for example: https://github.com/tokio-rs/bytes/pull/432
