//! Recursive Length Prefix serialization crate.
//!
//! Allows encoding, decoding, and view onto rlp-slice
//!
//! # What should you use when?
//!
//! ### Use `encode` function when:
//! * You want to encode something inline.
//! * You do not work on big set of data.
//! * You want to encode whole data structure at once.
//!
//! ### Use `decode` function when:
//! * You want to decode something inline.
//! * You do not work on big set of data.
//! * You want to decode whole rlp at once.
//!
//! ### Use `RlpStream` when:
//! * You want to encode something in portions.
//! * You encode a big set of data.
//!
//! ### Use `Rlp` when:
//! * You need to handle data corruption errors.
//! * You are working on input data.
//! * You want to get view onto rlp-slice.
//! * You don't want to decode whole rlp at once.
