# surd

> A blazing fast binary serialization library

## Goals

- 100% TypeScript inference

- Browser and Node.js support

- Fast serialization/deserialization

- Compact binary sizes

## Non-goals

- Binary validation

## Usage

```js

import { t } from "surd";

const schema = t.string;

const serialized = schema.serialize("hello world");

const [deserialized, trailing] = schema.deserialize(serialized);

assert(deserialized === "hello world")

asserts(trailing.byteLength === 0);

```

### Packer

A minimal data compressor that run-length encodes zeroes, useful for low numbers which contain lots of padding zeroes.

```js

import { pack, t, unpack } from "surd";

const schema = t.uint32;

const serialized = schema.serialize(12);

const packed = pack(serialized);

assert(packed.byteLength < serialized.byteLength);

const [deserialized] = schema.deserialize(unpack(serialized));

assert(deserialized === 12);

```

### TypeScript

```ts

import { t, type TypeOf } from "surd";

const point = t.struct({

  x: t.int16,

  y: t.int16

});

type Point = TypeOf;

// equivalent to

type Point = { x: number; y: number };

```

## Types

```js

import { t } from "surd";

// numbers

t.float32;

t.float64;

t.uint8;

t.uint16;

t.uint32;

t.int8;

t.int16;

t.int32;

t.bigint64;

t.biguint64;

// other primitives/builtin types

t.string;

t.boolean;

t.date;

t.arrayBuffer;

// literals

t.literal("foo") // any primitive

t.undefined; // aliased as t.void for TypeScript reasons

t.null;

// compound types

t.array(t.string); // -> string[]

t.map(t.string, t.boolean); // -> Map

t.set(t.uint32); // -> Set

t.tuple(t.string, t.int32, t.boolean); // -> [string, number, boolean]

t.struct({

  foo: t.uint8,

  bar: t.int32,

  baz: t.boolean,

}); // -> { foo: number, bar number, baz: boolean }

// nullability

t.nullOr(t.string); // -> string | null

t.undefinedOr(t.string); // -> string | undefined

// enums

t.enum("foo", "bar", 12, true); // -> "foo" | "bar" | 12 | true

t.union({

  loggedIn: t.struct({ username: t.string }),

  loggedOut: t.void,

}) // -> ["loggedIn", { username: string }] | ["loggedOut", void];

```
