A high-performance binary data deserialization library providing a type-safe, flexible and composable abstraction over manipulations on pointers.

The API consists of two complementary abstractions:

• Fixed decoders for compile-time known, fixed-size data structures

• Variable decoders for runtime-dependent, variable-size data structures

In combination they allow to build decoders of any complexity.

The library delivers superior performance compared to alternatives like "cereal" and "store", making it ideal for high-throughput applications, networking, and systems programming.
