bytemuck

ByteMuck is a crate for mucking around with piles of bytes. It lets you safely perform "bit cast" operations between data types. That's where you take a value and just reinterpret the bits as being some other type of value, without changing the bits. It is like f32::to_bits, just generalized to let you convert between all sorts of data types.

bitvec

byteorder
