Description

Biniou (pronounced "be new") is a binary data format designed for speed, safety, ease of use and backward compatibility as protocols evolve. Biniou is vastly equivalent to JSON in terms of functionality but allows implementations several times faster (4 times faster than yojson), with 25-35% space savings.

Biniou data can be decoded into human-readable form without knowledge of type definitions except for field and variant names which are represented by 31-bit hashes. A program named bdump is provided for routine visualization of biniou data files.

The program atdgen is used to derive OCaml-Biniou serializers and deserializers from type definitions.

Build status

Results of building biniou with each compiler on check.ci.ocaml.org, run of against opam-repository 7cdc698. All results for this package.

Each result links to its build log. To keep crawlers from overloading the site, build logs require a GitHub sign-in (see ocurrent/opam-health-check). On your first log, GitHub asks you to “Authorize opam-health-check”, the OCurrent app that runs these checks; it sees only your public profile, not your repositories. The sign-in lasts 30 days.

This version is not in the latest run; the versions below are.
