Here it is:

- Answer from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30292752/how-do-i-parse-a-json-file

Solved by the many helpful members of the Rust community:

extern crate rustc_serialize;
use rustc_serialize::json::Json;
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::Read;

fn main() {
    let mut file = File::open("text.json").unwrap();
    let mut data = String::new();
    file.read_to_string(&mut data).unwrap();

    let json = Json::from_str(&data).unwrap();
    println!("{}", json.find_path(&["Address", "Street"]).unwrap());
}

4. How to get more than one answers

hors set git remote url -n 2 -a

Here it is:

- Answer from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2432764/how-to-change-the-uri-url-for-a-remote-git-repository
You can

git remote set-url origin new.git.url/here

(see git help remote) or you can just edit .git/config and change the URLs there. You're not in any danger of losing history unless you do something very silly (and if you're worried, just make a copy of your repo, since your repo is your history.)


^_^ ==================================================== ^_^

- Answer from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42830557/git-remote-add-origin-vs-remote-set-url-origin
below is used to a add a new remote:

git remote add origin git@github.com:User/UserRepo.git

below is used to change the url of an existing remote repository:

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:User/UserRepo.git

below will push your code to the master branch of the remote repository defined with origin and -u let you point your current local branch to the remote master branch:

git push -u origin master

Documentation

5. The default search engine is bing, how can I use other search engine?

hors set git remote url -n 2 -a -e "google"

Proxy support

If the network seems blocked, you can try to configure proxy like this:

export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:1087;export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:1087;

Of cause it should be a valid proxy in your machine.

Use hors as lib

Hors can be used as a lib, here is an example:

use std::str::FromStr;
use hors::{self, SearchEngine};

let search_engine: SearchEngine = SearchEngine::from_str("bing").unwrap();
let target_links: Vec<String> = hors::search_links(
    "how to parse json in rust",
    search_engine,
)
.await
.unwrap();
assert_ne!(target_links.len(), 0);
for link in target_links {
    assert!(link.contains("stackoverflow.com"));
}
