Struct cddl_cat::ivt::Array

pub struct Array {
    pub members: Vec<Node>,
}

An array is a list of types in a specific order.

Arrays are expected to take the form of “records” or “vectors”.

A “vector” array is expected to have an arbitrary-length list of a single type, e.g. zero-or-more integers:

[ * int ]

The type in a vector could be something complex, like a group, choice, or another array or map.

A “record” array is a sequence of different values, each with a specific type. It has similar semantics to a rust tuple, though it could also theoretically be used to serialize a struct.

CDDL syntax allows certain nonsensical or ambiguous arrays, for example:

thing = [ * mygroup ]
mygroup = ( a = tstr, b = int)

or

thing = [ * "a" = int, * "b" = int ]

CDDL arrays may be composed of key-value pairs, but the keys are solely for information/debugging; they are ignored for validation purposes.

members: Vec<Node>

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Array

fn clone(&self) -> Array

Returns a copy of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Array

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for Array

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

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

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

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