Expand description

An optional Read trait for advanced Bincode usage.

It is highly recommended to use bincode with io::Read or &[u8] before implementing a custom BincodeRead.

The forward_read_* methods are necessary because some byte sources want to pass a long-lived borrow to the visitor and others want to pass a transient slice.

Required methods

Check that the next length bytes are a valid string and pass it on to the serde reader.

Transfer ownership of the next length bytes to the caller.

Pass a slice of the next length bytes on to the serde reader.
