1//! The most efficient binary storage encoding for Müsli.
2//!
3//! The packed encoding is not upgrade safe:
4//!
5//! * ✗ Can not tolerate missing fields.
6//! * ✗ Cannot skip over extra unrecognized fields.
7//!
8//! This means that it's probably not suitable as a storage format, nor as a
9//! wire since it cannot allow clients to upgrade independent of each other.
10//!
11//! In order to make full use of the packed format, the data model should use
12//! the `#[musli(packed)]` attribute on the container. This among other things
13//! prevents field identifiers from being emitted. See [`derives`] for more
14//! information. Since the packed format doesn't use field identifiers, it only
15//! supports optional fields *at the end* of the stream.
16//!
17//! See [`storage`] or [`wire`] or [`descriptive`] for formats which are upgrade
18//! stable.
19//!
20//! Note that this is simply a specialization of the `storage` format with
21//! different options. But it allows for much more efficient encoding.

38//! }

41//!     name: String::from("Aristotle"),
42//!     age: Some(61),
43//! })?;
