kiwi
Decoding of the Kiwi binary format, Evan Wallace’s
schema-based serialization (used by Figma’s .fig files, but generic).
A Kiwi message is meaningless without its schema. Schema::parse reads a binary schema
(the compiled form Kiwi writes, which .fig files embed), then Schema::decode decodes a
message against one of its definitions into a dynamic Value tree: objects, arrays, enums
by name and the usual scalars. Every failure on truncated or invalid data is a precise
KiwiError.
Built on bytes::ByteReader, plus Kiwi’s own 64-bit varints and
floats, which are not LEB128 and IEEE 754 on the wire.
