§Serialization

This section is only relevant if you’re using this function to hash your own types.

  • Per the spec, neither of bools, floats, or nulls are supported.
  • Enum variants are serialized identically to serde_json.
  • Option::None fields are omitted entirely.
  • Byte strings are serialized differently to arrays of bytes - use of serde_bytes is required for correctness.
