## Usage
To use `bytes`, first add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
bytes = "1"
```
Next, add this to your crate:
```rust
use bytes::{Bytes, BytesMut, Buf, BufMut};
```
## Serde support
Serde support is optional and disabled by default. To enable use the feature `serde`.
```toml
[dependencies]
bytes = { version = "1", features = ["serde"] }
```
## Building documentation
When building the `bytes` documentation the `docsrs` option should be used, otherwise
feature gates will not be shown. This requires a nightly toolchain:
```
RUSTDOCFLAGS="--cfg docsrs" cargo +nightly doc
```
