Nestle
Encode/decode arbitrary nested tree-structured data with a single integer.
Usage
Simply use the Nestle derive macro on your enum or struct.
If the width of the top-level type is exceeded, an error will be returned at the point of encoding.
// This is the top-level type, so it should be 64 bits wide. It uses
// `repr(i16)` therefore occupies 16 bits, leaving 48 bits for the
// descendants.
#[derive(Nestle)]
#[nestle(width = 64)]
#[repr(i16)]
enum Instrument {
Spot(CurrencyPair) = 1,
Options(Options) = 2,
PerpetualFutures(CurrencyPair) = 3,
}
// This type is 48 bits wide, so it can be encoded as a descendant of
// `Instrument`.
#[derive(Nestle)]
#[nestle(width = 48)]
struct Options {
expiry: u16,
pair: CurrencyPair,
}
// This type doesn't use all the available space, which is fine.
#[derive(Nestle)]
#[nestle(width = 32)]
struct CurrencyPair {
base: Currency,
quote: Currency,
}
// The discriminants of this enum will be used to encode the values.
#[derive(Nestle)]
#[repr(i16)]
enum Currency {
Btc = 1,
Eth = 2,
Doge = 3,
Usd = 4,
}
let instrument = Instrument::Options(Options {
expiry: 365,
pair: CurrencyPair {
base: Currency::Eth,
quote: Currency::Usd,
},
});
let instrument_id = 564517616615428;
// This is the unique, semantic identifier for this instrument.
assert_eq!(instrument.encode().unwrap(), instrument_id);
// It's the result of the discriminants shifted in to the appropriate
// bit positions.
assert_eq!(
instrument.encode().unwrap(),
2 << 48 | 365 << 32 | 2 << 16 | 4
);
// The decode method will return the original value.
assert_eq!(Instrument::decode(instrument_id).unwrap(), instrument);
// Ids have semantic meaning, giving them reproducibility and
// mathematical properties.
assert_eq!(
Instrument::decode(instrument_id - 1).unwrap(),
Instrument::Options(Options {
expiry: 365,
pair: CurrencyPair {
base: Currency::Eth,
quote: Currency::Doge,
},
})
);
// The decode method will fail only if the id is not a valid encoding.
assert!(Instrument::decode(instrument_id + 1).is_err());
