# Serialization input/output

Files here contain hex strings and binary data representing types used for
regression testing.

- `*_hex`: consensus encoded types represented as hex strings
- `*_ser`: consensus encoded types represented as binary data
- `*_bincode`: types serialized with `serde` as bincode

We consensus deserialize, `serde` serialize, then check against the expected data
to verify no `serde` regressions have been introduced.
