//! Low level Postgres protocol APIs.
//!
//! This crate implements the low level components of Postgres's communication
//! protocol, including message and value serialization and deserialization.
//! It is designed to be used as a building block by higher level APIs such as
//! `rust-postgres`, and should not typically be used directly.
//!
//! # Note
//!
//! This library assumes that the `client_encoding` backend parameter has been
//! set to `UTF8`. It will most likely not behave properly if that is not the case.
