GitHub - Be1zebub/BinS: BINary Serializa...

[mortal ridge]

what happened to the good old days of one file dependencies 😦

good stuff, but everything other than the lua/bins/deps/bitbuffer.lua is just fluff imo

[oblique ferry]

its struct that i use in my all projects

[oblique ferry]

yep, its just a small wrapper over niknaks buffer
initially I wanted to adapt dkjson/bson for gmod, but after I tried and realized that their codebase is bad
i was remembered about the nicknaks - which can be very easily turned into a serializer

@oblique ferry is this used for lowering network message lengths?

[oblique ferry]

I haven't used it this way, but it would work

local tbl = {...}
local data = util.Compress(bins.encode(tbl))

net.Start("test")
    net.WriteUInt(#data, 16)
    net.WriteData(data)
net.SendToServer()

Would it be less than JSON?

Working so can't test it rn

[oblique ferry]

ofc
