//! Wrapper types to enable optimized handling of `&[u8]` and `Vec<u8>`.
//!
//! Without specialization, Rust forces Serde to treat `&[u8]` just like any
//! other slice and `Vec<u8>` just like any other vector. In reality this
//! particular slice and vector can often be serialized and deserialized in a
//! more efficient, compact representation in many formats.
//!
//! When working with such a format, you can opt into specialized handling of
//! `&[u8]` by wrapping it in `serde_bytes::Bytes` and `Vec<u8>` by wrapping it
//! in `serde_bytes::ByteBuf`.
//!
//! Additionally this crate supports the Serde `with` attribute to enable
//! efficient handling of `&[u8]` and `Vec<u8>` in structs without needing a
//! wrapper type.
//!
//! ```
//! # use serde_derive::{Deserialize, Serialize};
//! use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
//!
//! #[derive(Deserialize, Serialize)]
//! struct Efficient<'a> {
//!     #[serde(with = "serde_bytes")]
//!     bytes: &'a [u8],
//!
//!     #[serde(with = "serde_bytes")]
//!     byte_buf: Vec<u8>,
//! }
//! ```
