defmodule Msgpax.Bin do
  @moduledoc """
  A struct to represent the MessagePack [Binary
  type](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack/blob/master/spec.md#formats-bin).

  Elixir binaries are serialized and deserialized as [MessagePack
  strings](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack/blob/master/spec.md#formats-str):
  `Msgpax.Bin` is used when you want to enforce the serialization of a binary
  into the Binary MessagePack type. Deserialization functions (such as
  `Msgpax.unpack/2`) provide an option to deserialize Binary terms (which are
  deserialized to Elixir binaries by default) to `Msgpax.Bin` structs.

  Creates a new `Msgpax.Bin` struct from the given binary.
