Exploring Protobuf, Cap'n Proto, FlatBuffers, Avro, and Thrift.

Quoting from the README: Postcard is a #![no_std] focused serializer and deserializer for Serde. Postcard aims to be convenient for developers in constrained environments, while allowing for flexibility to customize behavior as needed. I first published postcard back in 2019, as a way to get "all the good stuff from Serde" in a format that would work for embedded systems. Since then, people all over Rust are using Postcard as a general purpose, compact, and flexible Serde format, not just embedded folks! Now, 3 years later or so, it has reached 1.0.0! As of yesterday, June 20th, postcard v1.0.0 has been released. This blog post is an extended overview of the changes since the last stable release, v0.7.3. This work was made possible thanks to sponsorship from the Mozilla Corporation, and I'd like to thank them again for their support!

Thanks to a bunch of accumulated experience over the years, and a generous sponsor, I'll be releasing the 1.0 version of Postcard in June of 2022. Read on for more details on what's planned!
