7 The deserialiser trait

The deserialiser trait, represented by the type ccstructs_deserialiser_T, allows us to deserialise a struct from a source storage. The use of this trait is suggested to deserialise “small” data structures that can be read from storage with a single operation (that is: it may be not good if the serialisation is an XML document gigabytes in size).

For implementation examples we should look in the source distribution of CCStructs.

This document describes version 0.3.0-devel.3 of CCStructs.
