Crate hyper_serde

This crate provides wrappers and convenience functions to make Hyper and Serde work hand in hand.

The supported types are:

• cookie::Cookie
• hyper::header::ContentType
• hyper::header::Headers
• hyper::http::RawStatus
• hyper::method::Method
• mime::Mime
• time::Tm

How do I use a data type with a Headers member with Serde?

Use the serde attributes deserialize_with and serialize_with.

struct MyStruct {
#[serde(deserialize_with = "hyper_serde::deserialize",
serialize_with = "hyper_serde::serialize")]
headers: Headers,
}

How do I encode a Headers value with serde_json::to_string?

Use the Ser wrapper.

serde_json::to_string(&Ser::new(&headers))

How do I decode a Method value with serde_json::parse?

Use the De wrapper.

serde_json::parse::<De<Method>>("\"PUT\"").map(De::into_inner)

How do I send Cookie values as part of an IPC channel?

Use the Serde wrapper. It implements Deref and DerefMut for convenience.

ipc::channel::<Serde<Cookie>>()
