89
+ You under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the date such
90

+ to in writing, shall any Contributor be liable to You for damages,
164
+ including any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential
165

+
37
+ ## ✨ Why Rombob?
38
+
39
+ - 🏷️ **Just type hints** — no schema files, no code generation step, no base classes.
40
+ - ⚡ **Fast** — consecutive fixed-size fields are compiled into a single `struct` call.
41
+ - 🔗 **Dependent fields** — lengths and optional fields can depend on values read earlier.
42
+ - 🛡️ **Validated** — constraints (`Range`, `Gt`, `Predicate`, ...) are checked on read *and* write.
43
+ - 🔍 **Readable errors** — `trace_errors=True` points at the exact failing field, e.g. `Packet.points[0].x`.
44
+ - 🧠 **Stateless codecs** — build once, share freely.
45
+
46
+ ## 📦 Installation
47
+
48
+ Install the latest unreleased code straight from Git:
49
+
50
+ ```bash
51
+ pip install git+https://github.com/loudblow/rombob.git@main
52
+ ```
53
+
54
+ ## 🚀 Quick Start
55
+
56
+ ```python
57
+ import dataclasses
58
+ import rombob
59
+
60
+
61
+ @dataclasses.dataclass
62
+ class Player:
63
+ id: rombob.U8_B # 1 byte, big-endian
64
+ username: str # UTF-8 with a 2-byte length prefix
65
+
66
+
67
+ # 📤 Serialize
68
+ encoded = rombob.encode(Player(id=1, username="Archer"))
69
+ print(encoded) # b'\x01\x00\x06Archer'
70
+
71
+ # 📥 Deserialize
72
+ player = rombob.decode(encoded, cls=Player)
73
+ print(player) # Player(id=1, username='Archer')
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ ## 🔬 Advanced Example
77
+
78
+ A tiny network packet that uses most of the features at once: magic bytes, an enum,
79
+ a length taken from an earlier field, a conditional field, validation, nested
80
+ structures, and a raw tail.
81
+
82
+ ```python
83
+ import dataclasses
84
+ import enum
85
+ from typing import Annotated, Literal
86
+
87
+ import rombob
88
+ from rombob import (
89
+ I16_L, U8_B, Len, Named, Prefix, Range, Raw, When,
90
+ )
91
+
92
+
93
+ class Kind(enum.IntEnum):
94
+ PING = 1
95
+ CHAT = 2
96
+
97
+
98
+ @dataclasses.dataclass
99
+ class Point:
100
+ x: I16_L # little-endian int16
101
+ y: I16_L
102
+
103
+
104
+ @dataclasses.dataclass
105
+ class Packet:
106
+ magic: Literal[b"RB"] # constant, checked on read
107
+ version: Annotated[Literal[1, 2], U8_B] # only 1 or 2 is accepted
108
+ kind: Annotated[Kind, U8_B] # enum stored as one byte
109
+ count: Named[U8_B] # remembered as "count"
110
+ points: Annotated[list[Point], Len(ref="count")] # length = count
111
+ has_token: Named[bool]
112
+ token: Annotated[str | None, When(ref="has_token")] # only if has_token
113
+ hp: Annotated[U8_B, Range(0, 100)] # validated 0..100
114
+ tags: Annotated[list[Annotated[str, Prefix(U8_B)]], Prefix(U8_B)]
115
+ payload: Raw # everything that is left
116
+
117
+
118
+ packet = Packet(
119
+ magic=b"RB",
120
+ version=1,
121
+ kind=Kind.CHAT,
122
+ count=2,
123
+ points=[Point(1, 2), Point(-3, 4)],
124
+ has_token=True,
125
+ token="secret",
126
+ hp=80,
127
+ tags=["a", "bc"],
128
+ payload=b"\xde\xad",
129
+ )
130
+
131
+ data = rombob.encode(packet)
132
+ assert rombob.decode(data, cls=Packet) == packet
133
+ ```
134
+
135
+ Something went wrong? Ask for a trace and get the exact location:
136
+
137
+ ```python
138
+ import dataclasses
139
+
140
+ rombob.encode(dataclasses.replace(packet, hp=200), trace_errors=True)
141
+ # BytesOperationError: Encoding failed at length 22 (Packet.hp):
142
+ # 200 violates Range(lo=0, hi=100)
143
+
144
+ rombob.decode(data[:5], cls=Packet, trace_errors=True)
145
+ # BytesOperationError: Decoding failed at offset 5 (Packet.points[0].x): ...
146
+ ```
147
+
148
+ ## 🧰 Annotations Cheat Sheet
149
+
150
+ Everything lives in `rombob.metadata` and is importable from `rombob`.
151
+
152
+ | Annotation | What it does | Example |
153
+ | ---------- | ------------ | ------- |
154
+ | `LE` / `BE` | Byte order for `IntCodec` (or use the `*_L` / `*_B` aliases) | `U16_L` |
155
+ | `Len(n)` | Exact length, no length prefix | `Annotated[str, Len(10)]` |
156
+ | `Len(ref=...)` | Length from an earlier `Named` field (or `lambda ctx: ...`); checked on write | `Len(ref="count")` |
157
+ | `Prefix(codec)` | Integer type of the length prefix (U16 big-endian by default) | `Prefix(U8_B)` |
158
+ | `Named[T]` | Remember the value so later fields can refer to it | `Named[U8_B]` |
159
+ | `When(...)` | Make a field conditional on earlier fields | `When(ref="has_token")` |
160
+ | `Optional[T]` / `T \| None` | Present while there is data left | `int \| None` |
161
+ | `Skip[T]` | Neither read nor written (needs a default) | `Skip[int]` |
162
+ | `Gt` `Ge` `Lt` `Le` `Range` | Numeric constraints, checked on read and write | `Range(1, 10)` |
163
+ | `Predicate(func)` | Any custom check | `Predicate(lambda v: v % 2 == 0)` |
164
+ | `Literal[...]` | Constants; `bytes`/`str` literals need no codec, `int` literals do | `Annotated[Literal[1, 2], U8_B]` |
165
+
166
+ ## 🧱 Supported Types
167
+
168
+ Fields can be bools, integers, floats, strings, bytes, lists, tuples, sets,
169
+ frozensets, enums, named tuples, or other dataclasses — plus `Optional`, `Literal`,
170
+ `Generic`/`TypeVar`, fixed- and variable-length collections, and heterogeneous
171
+ tuples such as `tuple[int, str]`.
172
+
173
+ ### Plain Python types (defaults)
174
+
175
+ | Python type | Encoding | Notes |
176
+ | ----------- | -------- | ----- |
177
+ | `bool` | `?` | Writes 1 or 0 |
178
+ | `str` | `U16(BE)` length + UTF-8 bytes | |
179
+ | `bytes` | `U16(BE)` length + bytes | |
180
+ | `int` | `I64(BE)` | Signed 64-bit |
181
+ | `float` | `F64(BE)` | IEEE 754 double |
182
+
183
+ ### Aliases
184
+
185
+ Every alias comes in two flavors: `_B` (big-endian) and `_L` (little-endian).
186
+
187
+ | Family | Aliases |
188
+ | ------ | ------- |
189
+ | Unsigned ints | `U8` `U16` `U24` `U32` `U48` `U64` |
190
+ | Signed ints | `I8` `I16` `I24` `I32` `I48` `I64` |
191
+ | Floats | `F16` `F32` `F64` |
192
+ | Variable-length | `UVInt` (unsigned), `IVInt` (signed) |
193
+ | Rest of the buffer | `Raw` |
194
+
195
+ ## ⚙️ Going Further
196
+
197
+ - **Fast paths** — `Codec.encode/decode` with an explicit codec, or `Factory` for
198
+ dispatch by primary field. See `rombob.get_codec(cls)` to build and inspect a codec.
199
+ - **Streaming** — pass `reader=` / `writer=` to `decode` / `encode` to continue an
200
+ existing buffer.
201
+ - **Benchmarks** — see [`benchmarks/`](benchmarks) (`bench.py`, `bench_int24.py`).

20
+ ## ✨ Why Rombob?
21
+
22
+ - 🏷️ **Just type hints** — no schema files, no code generation step, no base classes.
23
+ - ⚡ **Fast** — consecutive fixed-size fields are compiled into a single `struct` call.
24
+ - 🔗 **Dependent fields** — lengths and optional fields can depend on values read earlier.
25
+ - 🛡️ **Validated** — constraints (`Range`, `Gt`, `Predicate`, ...) are checked on read *and* write.
26
+ - 🔍 **Readable errors** — `trace_errors=True` points at the exact failing field, e.g. `Packet.points[0].x`.
27
+ - 🧠 **Stateless codecs** — build once, share freely.

29
+ ## 📦 Installation
30
+
31
+ Install the latest unreleased code straight from Git:
32
+
33
+ ```bash
34
+ pip install git+https://github.com/loudblow/rombob.git@main
35
+ ```
36
+
37
+ ## 🚀 Quick Start
38
+
39
+ ```python
40
+ import dataclasses
41
+ import rombob
42
+
43
+
44
+ @dataclasses.dataclass
45
+ class Player:
46
+ id: rombob.U8_B # 1 byte, big-endian
47
+ username: str # UTF-8 with a 2-byte length prefix
48
+
49
+
50
+ # 📤 Serialize
51
+ encoded = rombob.encode(Player(id=1, username="Archer"))
52
+ print(encoded) # b'\x01\x00\x06Archer'
53
+
54
+ # 📥 Deserialize
55
+ player = rombob.decode(encoded, cls=Player)
56
+ print(player) # Player(id=1, username='Archer')
57
+ ```
58
+
59
+ ## 🔬 Advanced Example
60
+
61
+ A tiny network packet that uses most of the features at once: magic bytes, an enum,
62
+ a length taken from an earlier field, a conditional field, validation, nested
63
+ structures, and a raw tail.
64
+
65
+ ```python
66
+ import dataclasses
67
+ import enum
68
+ from typing import Annotated, Literal
69
+
70
+ import rombob
71
+ from rombob import (
72
+ I16_L, U8_B, Len, Named, Prefix, Range, Raw, When,
73
+ )
74
+
75
+
76
+ class Kind(enum.IntEnum):
77
+ PING = 1
78
+ CHAT = 2
79
+
80
+
81
+ @dataclasses.dataclass
82
+ class Point:
83
+ x: I16_L # little-endian int16
84
+ y: I16_L
85
+
86
+
87
+ @dataclasses.dataclass
88
+ class Packet:
89
+ magic: Literal[b"RB"] # constant, checked on read
90
+ version: Annotated[Literal[1, 2], U8_B] # only 1 or 2 is accepted
91
+ kind: Annotated[Kind, U8_B] # enum stored as one byte
92
+ count: Named[U8_B] # remembered as "count"
93
+ points: Annotated[list[Point], Len(ref="count")] # length = count
94
+ has_token: Named[bool]
95
+ token: Annotated[str | None, When(ref="has_token")] # only if has_token
96
+ hp: Annotated[U8_B, Range(0, 100)] # validated 0..100
97
+ tags: Annotated[list[Annotated[str, Prefix(U8_B)]], Prefix(U8_B)]
98
+ payload: Raw # everything that is left
99
+
100
+
101
+ packet = Packet(
102
+ magic=b"RB",
103
+ version=1,
104
+ kind=Kind.CHAT,
105
+ count=2,
106
+ points=[Point(1, 2), Point(-3, 4)],
107
+ has_token=True,
108
+ token="secret",
109
+ hp=80,
110
+ tags=["a", "bc"],
111
+ payload=b"\xde\xad",
112
+ )
113
+
114
+ data = rombob.encode(packet)
115
+ assert rombob.decode(data, cls=Packet) == packet
116
+ ```
117
+
118
+ Something went wrong? Ask for a trace and get the exact location:
119
+
120
+ ```python
121
+ import dataclasses
122
+
123
+ rombob.encode(dataclasses.replace(packet, hp=200), trace_errors=True)
124
+ # BytesOperationError: Encoding failed at length 22 (Packet.hp):
125
+ # 200 violates Range(lo=0, hi=100)
126
+
127
+ rombob.decode(data[:5], cls=Packet, trace_errors=True)
128
+ # BytesOperationError: Decoding failed at offset 5 (Packet.points[0].x): ...
129
+ ```
130
+
131
+ ## 🧰 Annotations Cheat Sheet
132
+
133
+ Everything lives in `rombob.metadata` and is importable from `rombob`.
134
+
135
+ | Annotation | What it does | Example |
136
+ | ---------- | ------------ | ------- |
137
+ | `LE` / `BE` | Byte order for `IntCodec` (or use the `*_L` / `*_B` aliases) | `U16_L` |
138
+ | `Len(n)` | Exact length, no length prefix | `Annotated[str, Len(10)]` |
139
+ | `Len(ref=...)` | Length from an earlier `Named` field (or `lambda ctx: ...`); checked on write | `Len(ref="count")` |
140
+ | `Prefix(codec)` | Integer type of the length prefix (U16 big-endian by default) | `Prefix(U8_B)` |
141
+ | `Named[T]` | Remember the value so later fields can refer to it | `Named[U8_B]` |
142
+ | `When(...)` | Make a field conditional on earlier fields | `When(ref="has_token")` |
143
+ | `Optional[T]` / `T \| None` | Present while there is data left | `int \| None` |
144
+ | `Skip[T]` | Neither read nor written (needs a default) | `Skip[int]` |
145
+ | `Gt` `Ge` `Lt` `Le` `Range` | Numeric constraints, checked on read and write | `Range(1, 10)` |
146
+ | `Predicate(func)` | Any custom check | `Predicate(lambda v: v % 2 == 0)` |
147
+ | `Literal[...]` | Constants; `bytes`/`str` literals need no codec, `int` literals do | `Annotated[Literal[1, 2], U8_B]` |
148
+
149
+ ## 🧱 Supported Types
150
+
151
+ Fields can be bools, integers, floats, strings, bytes, lists, tuples, sets,
152
+ frozensets, enums, named tuples, or other dataclasses — plus `Optional`, `Literal`,
153
+ `Generic`/`TypeVar`, fixed- and variable-length collections, and heterogeneous
154
+ tuples such as `tuple[int, str]`.
155
+
156
+ ### Plain Python types (defaults)
157
+
158
+ | Python type | Encoding | Notes |
159
+ | ----------- | -------- | ----- |
160
+ | `bool` | `?` | Writes 1 or 0 |
161
+ | `str` | `U16(BE)` length + UTF-8 bytes | |
162
+ | `bytes` | `U16(BE)` length + bytes | |
163
+ | `int` | `I64(BE)` | Signed 64-bit |
164
+ | `float` | `F64(BE)` | IEEE 754 double |
165
+
166
+ ### Aliases
167
+
168
+ Every alias comes in two flavors: `_B` (big-endian) and `_L` (little-endian).
169
+
170
+ | Family | Aliases |
171
+ | ------ | ------- |
172
+ | Unsigned ints | `U8` `U16` `U24` `U32` `U48` `U64` |
173
+ | Signed ints | `I8` `I16` `I24` `I32` `I48` `I64` |
174
+ | Floats | `F16` `F32` `F64` |
175
+ | Variable-length | `UVInt` (unsigned), `IVInt` (signed) |
176
+ | Rest of the buffer | `Raw` |
177
+
178
+ ## ⚙️ Going Further
179
+
180
+ - **Fast paths** — `Codec.encode/decode` with an explicit codec, or `Factory` for
181
+ dispatch by primary field. See `rombob.get_codec(cls)` to build and inspect a codec.
182
+ - **Streaming** — pass `reader=` / `writer=` to `decode` / `encode` to continue an
183
+ existing buffer.
184
+ - **Benchmarks** — see [`benchmarks/`](benchmarks) (`bench.py`, `bench_int24.py`).
