Description:

This library contains functionality for reading and writing OCaml
values in a type-safe binary protocol. These functions are extremely
efficient and provide users with a convenient and safe way of
performing I/O on any extensionally defined data type. This means that
functions, objects, and values whose type is bound through a
polymorphic record field are not supported, but everything else is.

As of now, there is no support for cyclic or shared values. Cyclic
values will lead to non-termination whereas shared values, besides
requiring significantly more space when encoded, may lead to a
substantial increase in memory footprint when they are read back in.
