hjson-rust for serde

{# specify ratein requests/second(because comments are helpful!)  rate:1000// prefer c-style comments?/* feeling old fashioned?*/# did you notice that rate doesn't need quotes?  hey: look ma, no quotesfor strings either!# best of all  notice:[]  anything:?# yes, commas are optional!}

The Rust implementation of Hjson is based on theSerde JSON Serialization Library. For other platforms seehjson.github.io.

This crate is a Rust library for parsing and generating Human JSONHjson. It is built uponSerde, a high performance generic serialization framework.

Install

This crate works with Cargo and can be found oncrates.io with aCargo.toml like:

[dependencies]serde="*"serde-hjson="*"

From the Commandline

Install withcargo install hjson

Hjson, the HumanJSON.Usage:  hjson[options]  hjson[options]<input>  hjson(-h|--help)  hjson(-V|--version)Options:-h--help     Show this screen.-j            Outputas formattedJSON.-c            OutputasJSON.-V--version  Show version.

Sample:

• runhjson test.json> test.hjson to convert to Hjson
• runhjson-j test.hjson> test.json to convert to JSON

Usage

externcrate serde;externcrate serde_hjson;useserde_hjson::{Map,Value};fnmain(){// Now let's look at decoding Hjson datalet sample_text=r#"    {        // specify rate in requests/second        rate: 1000        array:        [            foo            bar        ]    }"#;// Decode and unwrap.letmut sample:Map<String, Value>=serde_hjson::from_str(&sample_text).unwrap();// scope to control lifetime of borrow{// Extract the ratelet rate= sample.get("rate").unwrap().as_f64().unwrap();println!("rate:{}", rate);// Extract the arraylet array:&mutVec<Value>= sample.get_mut("array").unwrap().as_array_mut().unwrap();println!("first:{}", array.get(0).unwrap());// Add a value        array.push(Value::String("tak".to_string()));}// Encode to Hjsonlet sample2=serde_hjson::to_string(&sample).unwrap();println!("Hjson:\n{}", sample2);}
