A high-performance, pure-Rust implementation of the Named Binary Tag (NBT) format, specifically tailored for Minecraft Bedrock Edition but including support for Java Edition. Part of the bedrock-crustaceans ecosystem.

• Bedrock Optimized: Full support for Little Endian and Varint encoding used in Bedrock.
• Memory Efficient: Optimized for low-allocation parsing and high-speed serialization.
• Unstructed Data: Support for NBT data with no predefined structure.
• Serde Integration: Optional serde support for easy mapping between Rust structs and NBT.
• Strictly Typed: Safe handling of Compound, List, and Byte Array tags.

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
nbtx = "3.0"

and then start deserialising with nbtx. Or take a look at any of the other examples
