This is part 3 of a three-part series on interesting abstractions for zero-copy deserialization I’ve been working on over the last year. This part is about eliminating the deserialization step entirely. Part 1 is about making it more pleasant to work with and can be found here ; while Part 2 is about making it work for more types and can be found here . The posts can be read in any order, though only the first post contains an explanation of what zero-copy deserialization is.
