Expand description
Visitor for the structure of a CBOR item.
The visit is guided by the visitor in the sense that uninteresting arrays, dicts,
or some of their values can be skipped by returning false
from the respective
methods.
Note the different lifetimes needed on the impl Visitor
! The first lifetime
'a
describes how long the underlying Cbor
value lives, i.e. how long the items
passed into the visitor’s methods stay available. The second lifetime 'b
denotes
the mutable borrow of the String
we’re writing into, which needs to be more
short-lived since we want to move the String
before the Cbor
expires.
Example:
use std::fmt::{Error, Formatter, Write};
use cbor_data::{Cbor, CborOwned, TaggedItem, Visitor};
fn pretty_print(value: &Cbor) -> Result<String, Error> {
struct X<'a>(&'a mut String);
impl<'a, 'b> Visitor<'a, Error> for X<'b> {
fn visit_simple(&mut self, item: TaggedItem<'a>) -> Result<(), Error> {
write!(self.0, "{}", item)
}
fn visit_array_begin(&mut self, item: TaggedItem<'a>, size: Option<u64>) -> Result<bool, Error> {
write!(self.0, "[")?;
Ok(true)
}
fn visit_array_index(&mut self, item: TaggedItem<'a>, idx: u64) -> Result<bool, Error> {
if idx > 0 {
write!(self.0, ", ")?;
}
Ok(true)
}
fn visit_array_end(&mut self, item: TaggedItem<'a>) -> Result<(), Error> {
write!(self.0, "]")
}
fn visit_dict_begin(&mut self, item: TaggedItem<'a>, size: Option<u64>) -> Result<bool, Error> {
write!(self.0, "{{")?;
Ok(true)
}
fn visit_dict_key(&mut self, item: TaggedItem<'a>, key: TaggedItem<'a>, is_first: bool) -> Result<bool, Error> {
if !is_first {
write!(self.0, ", ")?;
}
write!(self.0, "{}: ", key)?;
Ok(true)
}
fn visit_dict_end(&mut self, item: TaggedItem<'a>) -> Result<(), Error> {
write!(self.0, "}}")
}
}
let mut s = String::new();
value.visit(&mut X(&mut s))?;
Ok(s)
}

Provided Methods§
sourcefn visit_simple(&mut self, item: TaggedItem<'a>) -> Result<(), Err>
fn visit_simple(&mut self, item: TaggedItem<'a>) -> Result<(), Err>
Visit a simple item, i.e. item.kind
will neither be Array
nor Dict
.
sourcefn visit_array_begin(
&mut self,
array: TaggedItem<'a>,
size: Option<u64>
) -> Result<bool, Err>
fn visit_array_begin( &mut self, array: TaggedItem<'a>, size: Option<u64> ) -> Result<bool, Err>
Visit the beginning of an array. size
is None for indefinite size encoding.
Return false
to skip this array entirely, meaning that visit_array_index
and visit_array_end
will NOT be called for it.
sourcefn visit_array_index(
&mut self,
array: TaggedItem<'a>,
index: u64
) -> Result<bool, Err>
fn visit_array_index( &mut self, array: TaggedItem<'a>, index: u64 ) -> Result<bool, Err>
Visit an array element at the given index. Return false
to skip over the element’s
contents, otherwise nested items (simple or otherwise) will be visited before visiting
the next element or the array’s end.
sourcefn visit_array_end(&mut self, array: TaggedItem<'a>) -> Result<(), Err>
fn visit_array_end(&mut self, array: TaggedItem<'a>) -> Result<(), Err>
Visit the end of the current array.
sourcefn visit_dict_begin(
&mut self,
dict: TaggedItem<'a>,
size: Option<u64>
) -> Result<bool, Err>
fn visit_dict_begin( &mut self, dict: TaggedItem<'a>, size: Option<u64> ) -> Result<bool, Err>
Visit the beginning of an dict. size
is None for indefinite size encoding.
Return false
to skip this dict entirely, meaning that visit_dict_key
and visit_dict_end
will NOT be called for it.
sourcefn visit_dict_key(
&mut self,
dict: TaggedItem<'a>,
key: TaggedItem<'a>,
is_first: bool
) -> Result<bool, Err>
fn visit_dict_key( &mut self, dict: TaggedItem<'a>, key: TaggedItem<'a>, is_first: bool ) -> Result<bool, Err>
Visit a dict value at the given key. Return false
to skip over the value’s
contents, otherwise nested items (simple or otherwise) will be visited before visiting
the next key or the dict’s end.
In most cases the key will be a string or an integer. In the rare case where a key is a complex struct, you can visit it manually.
sourcefn visit_dict_end(&mut self, dict: TaggedItem<'a>) -> Result<(), Err>
fn visit_dict_end(&mut self, dict: TaggedItem<'a>) -> Result<(), Err>
Visit the end of the current dict.
