capnproto-rust
A Rust implementation of Cap'n Proto, enabling zero-copy serialization and RPC for high-performance distributed systems.
What is capnproto-rust?
Cap'n Proto for Rust is a Rust implementation of the Cap'n Proto serialization and remote procedure call framework. It allows developers to define data structures and interfaces in schema files, which are then compiled into efficient Rust code that enables zero-copy message encoding and high-performance RPC. It solves the problem of serialization overhead in distributed systems by allowing direct in-memory traversal of encoded data.
Rust developers building high-performance distributed systems, networked applications, or embedded systems where zero-copy serialization and efficient RPC are critical.
Developers choose Cap'n Proto for Rust over alternatives like Protocol Buffers because it offers true zero-copy serialization, eliminating serialization/deserialization overhead, and provides a robust RPC system with strong type safety through schema-based code generation.
