# bitbuffer # bitbuffer
Tools for reading data types of arbitrary bit length and might not be byte-aligned in the source data Tools for reading and writing data types of arbitrary bit length and might not be byte-aligned in the source data
The main way of handling with the binary data is to first create a [`BitBuffer`] The main way of reading the binary data is to first create a `BitReadBuffer` ,wrap it into a `BitReadStream` and then read from the stream.
,wrap it into a [`BitStream`] and then read from the stream.
Once you have a BitStream, there are 2 different approaches of reading data Once you have a BitStream, there are 2 different approaches of reading data
- read primitives, Strings and byte arrays, using [`read_bool`], [`read_int`], [`read_float`], [`read_bytes`] and [`read_string`] - read primitives, Strings and byte arrays, using `read_bool`, `read_int`, `read_float`, `read_bytes` and `read_string`
- read any type implementing the [`BitRead`] or [`BitReadSized`] traits using [`read`] and [`read_sized`] - read any type implementing the `BitRead` or `BitReadSized` traits using `read` and `read_sized`
- [`BitRead`] is for types that can be read without requiring any size info (e.g. null-terminal strings, floats, whole integers, etc) - `BitRead` is for types that can be read without requiring any size info (e.g. null-terminal strings, floats, whole integers, etc)
- [`BitReadSized`] is for types that require external sizing information to be read (fixed length strings, arbitrary length integers - `BitReadSized` is for types that require external sizing information to be read (fixed length strings, arbitrary length integers
The [`BitRead`] and [`BitReadSized`] traits can be used with `#[derive]` if all fields implement [`BitRead`] or [`BitReadSized`]. The `BitRead` and `BitReadSized` traits can be used with `#[derive]` if all fields implement `BitRead` or `BitReadSized`.
## Examples For writing the data you wrap the output `Vec` into a `BitWriteStream` which can then be used in a manner similar to the `BitReadStream`
```rust - write primitives, Strings and byte arrays, using `write_bool`, `write_int`, `write_float`, `write_bytes` and `write_string`
use bitbuffer::{BitReadBuffer, LittleEndian, BitReadStream, BitRead}; - write any type implementing the `BitWrite` or `BitWriteSized` traits using `write` and `write_sized`
- `BitWrite` is for types that can be written without requiring any size info (e.g. null-terminal strings, floats, whole integers, etc)
- `BitWriteSized` is for types that require external sizing information to be written (fixed length strings, arbitrary length integers
#[derive(BitRead)] Just like the read counterparts, `BitWrite` and `BitWriteSized` traits can be used with `#[derive]` if all fields implement `BitWrite` or `BitWriteSized`.
# Examples
```
use bitbuffer::{BitReadBuffer, LittleEndian, BitReadStream, BitRead, BitWrite, BitWriteStream};
#[derive(BitRead, BitWrite)]
struct ComplexType { struct ComplexType {
first: u8, first: u8,
#[size = 15] #[size = 15]
