# bendncode a compact self-describing binary format, similar to CBOR or bencode. this should work with most serde attributes, unlike postcard or other non self-describing crates. an example: ```json { "hi": [1, "string"] } ``` bendncodes to ```rs m 01 // map of length 1 s 02 // keyed with a string of length 2 hi // "hi" l 02 // value of list of two elements u 01 // an uinteger of one s 06 // string(6) of "string" string ```
