Opinionated REST API types: errors (RFC 9457), pagination, health checks, and more
Documentation
//! Flexible timestamp serde: deserializes from Unix epoch (integer or float)
//! **or** ISO 8601 / RFC 3339 string; always serializes as an RFC 3339 string.
//!
//! Requires the `chrono` feature.
//!
//! ## Wire formats accepted on deserialization
//!
//! | Input                        | Interpretation                      |
//! |------------------------------|-------------------------------------|
//! | `1_700_000_000` (i64)        | Unix epoch seconds                  |
//! | `1_700_000_000.5` (f64)      | Unix epoch seconds + sub-second     |
//! | `"2023-11-14T22:13:20Z"`     | RFC 3339 / ISO 8601 string          |
//!
//! ## Examples
//!
//! ```rust
//! use chrono::{DateTime, Utc};
//! use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
//!
//! #[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
//! struct Event {
//!     #[serde(with = "api_bones::serde::timestamp")]
//!     occurred_at: DateTime<Utc>,
//! }
//!
//! // Deserialize from epoch integer
//! let from_epoch: Event = serde_json::from_str(r#"{"occurred_at":0}"#).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(from_epoch.occurred_at, DateTime::<Utc>::from_timestamp(0, 0).unwrap());
//!
//! // Deserialize from RFC 3339 string
//! let from_str: Event =
//!     serde_json::from_str(r#"{"occurred_at":"1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00"}"#).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(from_str.occurred_at, from_epoch.occurred_at);
//!
//! // Always serializes as RFC 3339
//! let json = serde_json::to_string(&from_epoch).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(json, r#"{"occurred_at":"1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00"}"#);
//! ```
//!
//! ## Feature gating
//!
//! This module is re-exported only when the `chrono` feature is enabled
//! (see `serde/mod.rs`). The `serde` feature gate on the parent `serde`
//! module is a *necessary but not sufficient* condition — `chrono` must
//! also be active for this module to be available. The explicit
//! `#[cfg(feature = "chrono")]` in `mod.rs` is the authoritative gate;
//! `serde` is required transitively because `DateTime<Utc>` serialization
//! depends on it.

#![cfg(feature = "chrono")]
