deser-php

Support for PHP's serialization format (the format of PHP's serialize and unserialize) for deser.

use deser::{Deserialize, Serialize};

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct Session {
    user_id: u64,
    roles: Vec<String>,
}

let input = br#"a:2:{s:7:"user_id";i:42;s:5:"roles";a:1:{i:0;s:5:"admin";}}"#;
let session: Session = deser_php::from_slice(input).unwrap();
assert_eq!(session.roles, ["admin"]);
assert_eq!(deser_php::to_vec(&session).unwrap(), input);

• Reads everything unserialize reads: arrays, objects (with their class and the visibility of their properties out of band), enum cases, custom serialized objects and the old escaped strings (S:). Arrays whose keys are 0, 1, ... are sequences, all others maps.
• Never instantiates classes or runs code: objects are maps.
• Writes what serialize writes, including PHP's float formatting.
• References (r: and R:) are passed through as markers and are not resolved, which makes them mostly useless beyond writing the input back unchanged.
