Crate airbender_codec 

airbender-codec

Documentation: API docs | Platform guide

[!WARNING] airbender-platform project is under active development and is in alpha state. Use at your own risk.

[!NOTE] Support crate. For guest programs, use airbender-sdk, which re-exports this crate’s codec helpers via airbender::codec. For host programs, airbender-host exposes the codec through its Inputs API. Depend on this crate directly only when you need explicit control over encoded payloads.

airbender-codec defines the stable, versioned serialization layer used between host inputs and guest reads. It is no_std-compatible and currently exposes AirbenderCodecV0, built on bincode v2 with a fixed configuration.

What It Provides

• AirbenderCodec, the trait implemented by concrete codec versions.
• AirbenderCodecV0, the current codec used by the platform.
• AIRBENDER_CODEC_V0 and CodecError, so manifests and callers can pin and validate the encoded payload format.

This crate sits underneath airbender-host::Inputs and airbender::guest::read, but it can also be used directly when you need explicit control over encoded payloads.
