Announcing Getty 0.1.0

I am happy to announce the initial version of Getty, 0.1.0.

Getty is a framework for building robust, optimal, and reusable serializers/deserializers in Zig. To install Getty, follow the instructions listed on the Installation page.

What's in 0.1.0

Core (de)serialization

Getty wouldn't be much of a (de)serialization framework if you couldn't (de)serialize anything. So, the initial release brings with it some core (de)serialization capabilities. Specifically, support was added for the following types:

Serialization

• Array
• Bool
• Enum
• Error set
• Float
• Integer
• Null
• Optional
• Pointer (one, slice)
• Struct
• Tuple
• Union
• Vector
• Void
• std.ArrayListAligned
• std.ArrayListAlignedUnmanaged
• std.HashMap
• std.HashMapUnmanaged
• std.SinglyLinkedList
• std.TailQueue

Deserialization

• Array
• Bool
• Enum (non-literal)
• Float
• Integer
• Optional
• Pointer (one, slice)
• Struct
• Tuple
• Union
• Void
• std.ArrayListAligned
• std.ArrayListAlignedUnmanaged
• std.HashMap
• std.HashMapUnmanaged
• std.SinglyLinkedList
• std.TailQueue

Customization

In addition to the core (de)serialization functionality, this release of Getty also introduces customization blocks, which can be used to define or modify the (de)serialization process.
