This crate is a wrapper around redb that makes keys and values require T: bincode::Encode + bincode::Decode and serialize as a big-endian bincode, which makes working with redb much more convenient.

It does also include a couple of minor deviations from redb, but stays faithful to the original API.

It was born from personal need, and at the time of writing this, contains only things that I actually needed. Having said that adding missing bits should be as simple as copy-paste-modify existing code, and contributions are welcome. Just be aware that you might need to get your hands dirty if you're planning to use it.

Notably bincode pre-release version is used.

The approach used in this crate might be a bit heavy, but should work for any serialization format, serde-based or not.
