Google Taxonomy / Product Categories

The purpose of this crate is to more easily work with Google Product Categories / Taxonomy. This is provided via the google_taxonomy::ProductCategory enum which contains all categories that exist as of 2021-08-13.

Enum variants, naming & discriminant

Variant names are translated from the taxonomy-with-ids.en-US.txt file as follows:

1. The leading ID is removed and used as discriminant for the enum variant.
2. The immediately following characters - are removed
3. All occurrences of & are replaced with And
4. Non-alphanumeric ascii characters are removed

For example 1604 - Apparel & Accessories > Clothing becomes ApparelAndAccessoriesClothing.

The discriminant is represented as a u32 internally.

Examples

Try to parse an integer as a product category (i.e. from its ID)

use std::convert::TryInto;
use google_taxonomy::ProductCategory;

let cat: ProductCategory = 3237.try_into().unwrap();
assert_eq!(cat, ProductCategory::AnimalsAndPetSuppliesLiveAnimals);

Get the number representation of the product category

use google_taxonomy::ProductCategory;
assert_eq!(ProductCategory::AnimalsAndPetSuppliesLiveAnimals as u32, 3237);

Get the name of a product category

use google_taxonomy::ProductCategory;
assert_eq!(ProductCategory::AnimalsAndPetSuppliesLiveAnimals.to_string(), "Animals & Pet Supplies > Live Animals");

Serialize / deserialize with Serde

#[cfg(feature = "with-serde")]
{
    use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
    use google_taxonomy::ProductCategory;

    #[derive(Deserialize, Serialize, Debug, PartialEq)]
    struct Product {
        category: ProductCategory,
    }
    let serialized = r#"{"category":"Animals & Pet Supplies"}"#;

    // Deserialize, e.g. with serde_json
    let deserialized: Product = serde_json::from_str(&serialized).unwrap();

    assert_eq!(deserialized, Product { category: ProductCategory::AnimalsAndPetSupplies });

    // And back to its original serialized form again...
    assert_eq!(serde_json::to_string(&deserialized).unwrap(), serialized);
}
