+This package is suitable for `no_std` environments.
+
+It features optional support for the `alloc` crate and also offers support
+for `serde`. The Space Paccket, PUS TM and TC implementations derive
+the `serde` `Serialize` and `Deserialize` trait. This allows serializing and
+deserializing them with an appropriate `serde` provider like `postcard`.
