Problem
By default
Vec<u8>
is treated just as anyVec<T>
and is inefficiently (de)serialized byte by byte.serde_bytes
instead usesSerializer::serialize_bytes
andDeserializer::deserialize_bytes
which do so more efficiently.https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/trait.Serializer.html#tymethod.serialize_bytes
https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/trait.Deserializer.html#tymethod.deserialize_bytes
Summary of Changes
