# About
Repository stores code for Rust library that allows to read from and write to .io file format.
### Functions and plans
The current status of both serialization and deserialization:
- [X] Primitive types
- [X] Strings
- [X] Arrays
- [X] Vectors
- [X] Hashmaps
- [X] Structs (Named{} and tuple())
- [X] Generics
- [X] Tuples
- [X] &str type
- [X] Slices
- [X] Option
- [X] Result
- [X] Combinations of all above
- [X] Enums (Unit, Unnamed, Named)
- [ ] Unit type `()`
Full list of supported types can be found in this [crate's documentation](https://docs.rs/iodeser/latest/iodeser/trait.IoDeSer.html#foreign-impls).
### Capabilities
- Serialization of [supported types](#functions-and-plans) using macro **to_io!()** using objects reference,
- Deserialization of [supported types](#functions-and-plans) using macro **from_io!()** using .io formatted String and wanted objects type,
- Renaming structs fields in and from .io formatted String using **#[io_name()]** helper macro using String literal as argument.
- Ordering structs fields in and from .io formatted String using **#[io_order()]** helper macro using either FIRST and LAST keywords or an i16 Integer.
See [example](#example-usage) below for usage of those capabilities.
### Example usage
```rust
use iodeser::*; // required import
#[derive(IoDeSer, Debug, PartialEq)] // required macro derive IoDeSer, Debug and PartialEq is not required
struct Person<'a> {
#[io_name("Name")] // optional renaming
pub name: &'a str,
#[io_name("SecondName")] // optional renaming
pub second_name: Option<&'a str>,
#[io_name("LastName")] // optional renaming
pub last_name: &'a str,
#[io_name("Age")] // optional renaming
#[io_order(LAST)] // optional ordering using FIRST or LAST keyword
pub age: u8,
#[io_name("Address")] // optional renaming
#[io_order(FIRST)] // optional ordering using FIRST or LAST keyword
pub address: Vec<Address<'a>>,
}
#[derive(IoDeSer, Debug, PartialEq)] // required macro derive, Debug and PartialEq is not required
struct Address<'a> {
#[io_order(3)] // optional ordering using integer
pub city: &'a str,
#[io_order(1)] // optional ordering using integer
pub number: AddressNumberType<'a>,
#[io_order(2)] // optional ordering using integer
pub street: &'a str,
}
#[derive(IoDeSer, Debug, PartialEq)] // required macro derive, Debug and PartialEq is not required
enum AddressNumberType<'a>{
Numeric(u16),
String(&'a str)
}
fn main() {
let person = Person {
name: "John",
second_name: None,
last_name: "Kowalski",
age: 21,
address: vec![
Address {
city: "Warsaw",
number: AddressNumberType::Numeric(65),
street: "Tęczowa",
},
Address {
city: "Hamburg",
number: AddressNumberType::String("220a"),
street: "Strasse",
},
],
};
let io_serialization: String = to_io!(&person); // serialization
println!("{}", &io_serialization);
let person_deserialization: Person = from_io!(io_serialization, Person).unwrap(); // deserialization
println!("{:?}", &person_deserialization);
assert_eq!(person, person_deserialization);
}
