Read and write OCaml values in a type-safe binary protocol
Description
This library contains functionality for reading and writing OCaml values in a
type-safe binary protocol. These functions are extremely efficient and
provide users with a convenient and safe way of performing I/O on any
extensionally defined data type. This means that functions, objects, and
values whose type is bound through a polymorphic record field are not
supported, but everything else is.
As of now, there is no support for cyclic or shared values. Cyclic values
will lead to non-termination whereas shared values, besides requiring
significantly more space when encoded, may lead to a substantial increase in
memory footprint when they are read back in.
