Enum Value 

pub enum Value {
    Array(Vec<Value>),
    String(String),
    Integer(i64),
    Float(OrderedFloat<f64>),
    Boolean(bool),
    Map(HashMap<String, Value>),
    Null,
    TypedError(TypedError),
}

A generic value type that can represent data from configuration, ALME protocol, WIT interfaces, or other structured sources within the Arcella ecosystem.

This enum serves as a common interchange format for dynamic data, similar to serde_json::Value but tailored for Arcella’s specific needs.

It supports:

• Primitive types: String, Integer, Float, Boolean, Null
• Compound types: Array (list of Value), Map (key-value pairs of String to Value)
• Error signaling: Error (for representing failures during data processing)

Examples

use arcella_types::config::Value;
use ordered_float::OrderedFloat;

// Creating a simple value
let string_val = Value::String("hello".to_string());
let int_val = Value::Integer(42);
let float_val = Value::Float(OrderedFloat(3.14));
let bool_val = Value::Boolean(true);
let null_val = Value::Null;

// Creating an array of values
let array_val = Value::Array(vec![
    Value::String("item1".to_string()),
    Value::Integer(2),
    Value::Null,
]);

// Creating a map of values
use std::collections::HashMap;
let mut map = HashMap::new();
map.insert("key1".to_string(), Value::Integer(42));
map.insert("key2".to_string(), Value::Boolean(true));
let map_val = Value::Map(map);

Variants

Array(Vec<Value>)

A sequence of Values.

String(String)

A UTF-8 string.

Integer(i64)

A signed 64-bit integer.

Float(OrderedFloat<f64>)

A 64-bit floating-point number. Uses OrderedFloat to ensure total ordering for use in collections.

Boolean(bool)

A boolean value.

Map(HashMap<String, Value>)

A map of string keys to Values. Uses HashMap for fast lookups.

Null

An explicit null value, representing the absence of data.

TypedError(TypedError)

A typed error value, useful for signaling errors within data structures.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Value

fn clone(&self) -> Value

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Value

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for Value

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl PartialEq for Value

fn eq(&self, other: &Value) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for Value

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
