I recently tried working with Teloxide and noticed that the library doesn’t have a convenient built-in way to serialize/deserialize callback data.
So I decided to try an approach based on binary serialization of an enum followed by base64 encoding. I liked this solution for several reasons:
- There’s no need to manually implement serialization/deserialization for each callback variant-it’s enough to implement the conversion for the enum once.
- It’s fast and reasonably efficient in terms of size.
- The callback data becomes unreadable to humans (it would normally look something like
do_something_1341), which provides a small barrier to reverse engineering.
I ended up packaging this approach into a Rust library called easy_callback.
I’d appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
