Rkyv Alternatives

rkyv reviews and mentions

• Müsli - An experimental binary serialization framework with more choice

  And before you ask: This only provides partial zero-copy support in strings and byte arrays like serde. But it's not like rkyv which constructs validated references into the data.

• A new major version of jql has been released

  Regarding JSON, what kind of other implementation do you have in mind? I've seen e.g. `rkyv` which looks really neat (https://github.com/rkyv/rkyv/issues/85). So far `serde_json` is providing a clean surface API but maybe there's best solution?

• My negative views on Rust

  Thank you for your concern. I've done plenty of projects that go beyond a "Hello World" such as a GPU accelerated password cracker. I am starting soon a C++/Rust job. I already contributed to codebases I didn't write.

  rkyv is awesome because it supports full zero-copy deserialization. You can serialize your HashMap to a file. Later you can directly use the HashMap from the file without creating and populating a new HashMap in memory (rkyv directly indexes into the raw bytes). For even faster access times you can even mmap the file.

• Bizarre memory leak caused by tokio runtime

  I had the same problem when trying to deserialize a big struct with rkyv: see rkyv#277.

• Advice for the next dozen Rust GUIs

  Any chance of working with zero-copy deserialization frameworks? like https://github.com/rkyv/rkyv or capnproto

• Pijul 1.0 Beta
  5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Jan 2022

  Hi, you seem to know a bit about Sanakirja!

  It stores 4kb blobs, right? Does Pijul first parses the data (copying it to other allocations), or uses the data as is? I mean, there are some libraries like cap'n'proto[0] and rkyv[1] that can directly use the file contents as an in-memory data structure, I was wondering if Pijul did anything like that.

  I mean, is this btree page [2] stored exactly like this on disk, and does Pijul exploits that to avoid further copying data?

  (I guess there's a trouble with compression there: to decompress you really need to write in another buffer)

  Also, is the I/O done with something that prevent userspace copies like mmap or io_uring, or does it eventually calls read() to copy the data to its own buffer?

  I want to build something like Sanakirja, but with those features, so I'm wondering if there's any overlap.

• Is there a library like Serde but which makes it easy to mutate serialized data stored in a [u8] or Vec<u8>?
  2 projects | /r/rust | 6 Dec 2021

  I think https://github.com/rkyv/rkyv does this. Also capnproto like was mentioned here, and perhaps https://docs.rs/zerocopy/0.6.1/zerocopy/index.html too

• rkyv 0.7: Endian-agnostic types, `no_std` validation, performance improvements, github sponsors and more!
  4 projects | /r/rust | 7 Jul 2021

  It's been two months since the last major rkyv release, and three months since the last major feature release. After all that time, I'm proud to announce that rkyv 0.7 is finally out!

• rkyv 0.5: Comparison derives, serialize bounds, and the future
  2 projects | /r/rust | 5 Apr 2021

  After roughly two months of work, rkyv 0.5 is finally out!
