ActivityRust
What is ActivityRust ?
ActivityRust is a crate that allows a user to manage the structures used by common implementations of the ActivityPub protocol. In order to do so, it tries to be compilant with:
- The ActivityStream Vocabulary, as defined here
- The ActivityPub extensions, as defined here
- Parts of the W3ID Security extension, as defined here
- The WebFinger schema ActivityRust allows creation and edition of these structures, but can also serialize and deserialize them to json.
How to use ActivityRust ?
Creating an ActivityStream entity
extern crate activityrust; // Import the required traits use activityrust::traits::properties::*; use activityrust::entities::actortypes::ActivityStreamPerson; use url::Url; fn main() { let mut activity = ActivityStreamPerson::create(); let activity_url = Url::parse("http://test.test").unwrap(); activity.set_id(activity_url); }
As ActivityStream, ActivityRust supports setting null values for properties. In practice, it means that you can do this:
activity.set_summary::<String, Option<String>>(None);
Deserializing/Serializing an ActivityStream entity
ActivityRust supports the serde module, and all entities can be deserialized to their proper types and serialized to JSON.
Compatibility
ActivityRust is tested against all the examples in ActivityStream and in ActivityPub, except examples 102 and 149.
Indeed, example 102 uses multiple object types, that we don't support and example 149 because the content of the example does not match the specification
We do have the following limitations:
- The
typeproperty can only have a single value - The W3ID Security extension is only partially supported
