summary
WinCode is a high-performance serialization library that claims to be a drop-in replacement for Bincode by producing identical bytes while removing extra copies. It implements Deserialize into a &mut MaybeUninit<T> so code can allocate with Box::new_uninit or use Vec::spare_capacity_mut to write directly into uninitialized heap memory, reduces per-element bounds checks, uses compile-time type metadata to do bulk memcpy for plain data, and shows substantial benchmarks with serialization gains even larger than deserialization.
