It's a good question! The binary format is completely inscrutable to human eyes and is not designed for manual inspection/editing. However: 1) For Rust, the generated types implement the `Debug` trait, so they can be printed in a textual format that Rust programmers are accustomed to reading. 2) For JavaScript/TypeScript, deserialized messages are simple passive data objects that can be logged or inspected in the developer console. So it's easy to log/inspect deserialized messages in a human-readable format, but there's currently no way to read/edit encoded messages directly. In the future, we may add an option to encode messages as JSON which would match the representation currently used for decoded messages in JavaScript/TypeScript, with sums being encoded as tagged unions.
