Ion Binary parser/encoder & Ion Hash in Rust

Ion binary is a library written in safe rust for parsing, encoding and hashing Amazon's Ion binary format.

It should be able to parse, encode and hash anything you throw at it. Any failure to do so is a bug that we will fix and we will be very happy if you report them.

How to use the library

First of all, you need to be aware of the trade offs that we took for this library:

The API returns strings instead of Symbols. If needed we can add symbol, but we think string is the the most ergonomic way.
When parsing/decoding you can add shared tables for binary blobs that doesn't have all the required symbols.

We have implemented the whole amazon ion test-suite for parsing. Encoding and Hashing fully tested. We are working in expading the coverage. We would appreciate any bug you can report. You can check all the test for examples.

Example

Parsing


use ion_binary_rs::IonParser;

// This is the response from Amazon's QLDB introduction example using Rusoto
let ion_test = b"\xe0\x01\0\xea\xee\xa6\x81\x83\xde\xa2\x87\xbe\x9f\x83VIN\x84Type\x84Year\x84Make\x85Model\x85Color\xde\xb9\x8a\x8e\x911C4RJFAG0FC625797\x8b\x85Sedan\x8c\"\x07\xe3\x8d\x88Mercedes\x8e\x87CLK 350\x8f\x85White";

let mut parser = IonParser::new(&ion_test[..]);

println!("Decoded Ion: {:?}", parser.consume_all().unwrap())
// Decoded Ion: [Struct({"Color": String("White"), "Year": Integer(2019), "VIN": String("1C4RJFAG0FC625797"), "Make": String("Mercedes"), "Model": String("CLK 350"), "Type": String("Sedan")})]

Encoding


use ion_binary_rs::{IonEncoder, IonParser, IonValue};
use std::collections::HashMap;

let mut ion_struct = HashMap::new();

ion_struct.insert("Model".to_string(), IonValue::String("CLK 350".to_string()));
ion_struct.insert("Type".to_string(), IonValue::String("Sedan".to_string()));
ion_struct.insert("Color".to_string(), IonValue::String("White".to_string()));
ion_struct.insert(
    "VIN".to_string(),
    IonValue::String("1C4RJFAG0FC625797".to_string()),
);
ion_struct.insert("Make".to_string(), IonValue::String("Mercedes".to_string()));
ion_struct.insert("Year".to_string(), IonValue::Integer(2019));

let ion_value = IonValue::Struct(ion_struct);

let mut encoder = IonEncoder::new();

encoder.add(ion_value.clone());
let bytes = encoder.encode();

let resulting_ion_value = IonParser::new(&bytes[..]).consume_value().unwrap().0;

assert_eq!(ion_value, resulting_ion_value);

Hashing

use sha2::Sha256;
use ion_binary_rs::{IonHash, IonValue};
use std::collections::HashMap;

let mut ion_struct = HashMap::new();

ion_struct.insert("Model".to_string(), IonValue::String("CLK 350".to_string()));
ion_struct.insert("Type".to_string(), IonValue::String("Sedan".to_string()));
ion_struct.insert("Color".to_string(), IonValue::String("White".to_string()));
ion_struct.insert(
    "VIN".to_string(),
    IonValue::String("1C4RJFAG0FC625797".to_string()),
);
ion_struct.insert("Make".to_string(), IonValue::String("Mercedes".to_string()));
ion_struct.insert("Year".to_string(), IonValue::Integer(2019));

let ion_value = IonValue::Struct(ion_struct);

let hash = IonHash::digest::<Sha256>(&ion_value);

println!("{:X?}", hash);

Structs

IonEncoder	Allows to binary encode one or multiple IonValue.
IonHash	Ion Hash implementation. Once the hasher is initialized you can add new values to it and it will perform the dot operation internally. Once you added everything you want to add just call `get()` and it will provide you with a &u8 slice containing the hash.
IonParser	In order to use it call the new method and then the "consume_all" method.

Enums

IonExtractionError
IonParserError	Indicated a problem in the binary blob internal structure. When all data is read the library will return IonParserError::BinaryError(ParsingError::NoDataToRead).
IonValue	The structure wrapping all possible return ion values by the IonParser.
NullIonValue	Instead of wrapping each IonValue in an Option in order to represent the null value, we opted to join all Null values in the IonValue::Null(_) which contains this struct. Here you can check what kind of null you got. We do this because we believe is more ergonomic and simplifies the API handling.
ParsingError	This errors indicate a problem in a primitive parsing. It comes always wrapped by the "BinaryError" of the error type "IonParserError".
Symbol	A table symbol. It can b used together with the "with_shared_table" method in order to define new shared tables.
SymbolContextError	Errors that can happen related with the Symbol Table.
