Binary Codable
Binary Codable provides Swift Codable-like interfaces for converting types to and from binary representations.
Binary Codable is optimized for reading and writing blocks of binary data as a stream of bytes. This makes Binary Codable useful for network protocols, binary file formats, and other forms of tightly-packed binary information.

Features
- Encode from Swift types to
Data
. - Decode from
Data
to Swift types. - Efficiently encode/decode large blocks of arbitrary data.
- Lazy decoding (read bytes from a source only as they're needed).
- Encode and decode fixed-width integer types.
- Encode and decode strings with or without terminators.
- Cap decoding containers to a maximum length.
Known usage in the wild
- BinaryCookies: Read and write Apple's .binarycookies files.
- MySqlConnector: A pure Swift implementation of the MySql client/server protocol.
