# aseprite
A crate for loading data from the [aseprite](https://www.aseprite.org/) sprite editor. Should go along well with the [tiled](https://github.com/mattyhall/rs-tiled) crate, I hope!
It does not load any actual images, just the metadata. Currently it only loads aseprite's JSON export format, and only when exported in a particular format that has all the options just right. I've yet to find a use case that won't cover though.
Automatically exporting a sprite to a given format is documented here: <https://www.aseprite.org/docs/cli/>
# Example
Export sprite sheet with:
```
aseprite -b boonga.ase --sheet boonga.png --format json-array --list-tags --list-layers --data boonga.json
```
Then write a program to load it:
```rust
extern crate serde_json;
extern crate aseprite;
use std::fs::File;
fn main() {
let file = File::open("boonga.json").unwrap();
let spritesheet: aseprite::SpritesheetData = serde_json::from_reader(file).unwrap();
println!("Spritesheet is {:?}", spritesheet);
}
```
