Serde  

*Serde is a framework for serializing and deserializing Rust data structures efficiently and generically.*

You may be looking for:

Serde in action

[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)]

struct Point {

    x: i32,

    y: i32,

}

fn main() {

    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);

}

Getting help

Serde is one of the most widely used Rust libraries so any place that Rustaceans congregate will be able to help you out. For chat, consider trying the #rust-questions or #rust-beginners channels of the unofficial community Discord (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. For asynchronous, consider the [rust] tag on StackOverflow, the /r/rust subreddit which has a pinned weekly easy questions post, or the Rust Discourse forum. It's acceptable to file a support issue in this repo but they tend not to get as many eyes as any of the above and may get closed without a response after some time.
