$binnString = $binn->serialize($array);
$unserialized = $binn->unserialize($binnString); // Equal with $array

Numeric keys array:, _(*6)

$binn = new Binn();

// Map
$array = [1 => "add", 2 => [-12345, 6789]];
$binnString = $binn->serialize($array);
$unserialized = $binn->unserialize($binnString); // Equal with $array

String keys array:, _(*7)

$binn = new Binn();

// Object
$array = ["hello" => "world"];
$binnString = $binn->serialize($array);

$array = [ ["id" => 1, "name" => "John"], ["id" => 2, "name" => "Eric"] ]

// A list of objects
$binnString = $binn->serialize($array);
$unserialized = $binn->unserialize($binnString); // Equal with $array

$binn = new Binn();
$file = fopen('/path/to/file.jpg', 'rb');

// Filedata in binn structure
$bin1 = $binn->serialize($file);

$bin2 = $binn->serialize(['file' => $file]);

Symfony Serializer

You can use BinnEncoder with Symfony Serializer, _(*10)

use Knik\Binn\Encoder\BinnEncoder;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Serializer;

$encoders = [new BinnEncoder()];
$serializer = new Serializer([], $encoders);

$serializer->serialize("\x40\xD0\x06", 'binn');

Original C library style

$binn = new BinnList();
$binn->addUint8(4);
$binn->addInt16(-8875);
$binn->addStr('text');

$serialized = $binn->serialize(); // \xE0\x0F\x03\x20\x04\x41\xDD\x55\xA0\x04text\x00

Nested arrays

$array = [2, true, [123, -456, 789]];

$binn = new BinnList();

// \xE0\x11\x03\x20\x02\x01\xE0\x0B\x03\x20\x7B\x41\xFE\x38\x40\x03\x15
$serialized = $binn->serialize($array);
