Serde is a framework forserializing anddeserializing Rust data structures efficiently and generically.

You may be looking for:

• An overview of Serde
• Data formats supported by Serde
• Setting up#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
• Examples
• API documentation
• Release notes

[dependencies]# The core APIs, including the Serialize and Deserialize traits. Always# required when using Serde. The "derive" feature is only required when# using #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)] to make Serde work with structs# and enums defined in your crate.serde = {version ="1.0",features = ["derive"] }# Each data format lives in its own crate; the sample code below uses JSON# but you may be using a different one.serde_json ="1.0"

use serde::{Deserialize,Serialize};#[derive(Serialize,Deserialize,Debug)]structPoint{x:i32,y:i32,}fnmain(){let point =Point{x:1,y:2};// Convert the Point to a JSON string.let serialized = serde_json::to_string(&point).unwrap();// Prints serialized = {"x":1,"y":2}println!("serialized = {}", serialized);// Convert the JSON string back to a Point.let deserialized:Point = serde_json::from_str(&serialized).unwrap();// Prints deserialized = Point { x: 1, y: 2 }println!("deserialized = {:?}", deserialized);}

Serde is one of the most widely used Rust libraries so any place that Rustaceanscongregate will be able to help you out. For chat, consider trying the#rust-questions or#rust-beginners channels of the unofficial communityDiscord (invite:https://discord.gg/rust-lang-community), the#rust-usage or#beginners channels of the official Rust Project Discord (invite:https://discord.gg/rust-lang), or the#general stream in Zulip. Forasynchronous, consider the[rust] tag on StackOverflow, the/r/rust subreddit which has a pinned weekly easy questions post, or the RustDiscourse forum. It's acceptable to file a support issue in thisrepo but they tend not to get as many eyes as any of the above and may getclosed without a response after some time.
