Biniou is a binary data format designed for speed, safety, ease of use and backward compatibility as protocols evolve. biniou is vastly equivalent to json in terms of functionality but allows implementations about 4 times as fast (see godi-yojson for comparison), with 25-35% space savings. biniou data can be decoded into human-readable form without knowledge of type definitions except for field and variant names which are represented by 31-bit hashes.

this package contains the shared runtime libraries.
