Method children

src/reader.rs:893–899

Returns a list of all direct child nodes. This allows manual traversal of the dependency graph (e.g., iterating over specific shards). Note: This does not deserialize the children, only loads their metadata (offsets).

    /// Standard single-threaded deserialization.
    /// Use this for leaf nodes or simple structs that fit in memory.
