# Jsony
An **experimental** fast compiling serialization and deserialization rust libary for JSON like formats.
[](https://crates.io/crates/jsony)
[](https://docs.rs/jsony/latest/jsony/)
[](LICENSE)
**WARNING:** Jsony is currently only a prototype, makes extensive use of unsafe and lacks extensive testing.
It is not recommended to be used for external facing systems at this time.
## Features
- Fast compile times
- Competitive runtime performance
- Featureful derive macros for implementing To/From for various data formats
- Encoding checked at compile time, infallible at runtime
- Data formats
- JSON (optional extension: trailing commas, comments, unquoted keys)
- Custom Binary Encoding
- x-www-form-urlencoded
- Lazy JSON parser for efficiently extracting small fragments.
- JSON templating macros
- Encode directly to a file or stack allocated to buffer.
## Example
```rust
use jsony::Jsony;
#[derive(Jsony, Debug)]
#[jsony(FromJson, ToJson, tag = "kind")]
enum Status<'a> {
Online,
Error {
#[jsony(default = i64::MAX)]
code: i64,
message: Cow<'a, str>,
#[jsony(flatten, via = Iterator)]
properties: Vec<(String, JsonItem<'a>)>,
},
Offline,
}
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let input: String = jsony::object! {
kind: "Error",
code: 300,
message: "System Failure",
data: [1, 2, 3],
value: {
previous: {
kind: "Offline",
}
}
};
let previous: Status = jsony::drill(&input)["value"]["previous"].parse()?;
assert!(matches!(previous, Status::Offline));
let status: Status = jsony::from_json(&input)?;
assert_eq!(
input,
jsony::to_json(&status)
);
Ok(())
}
```
## Acknowledgements
The derive feature set is largely based of `serde` and `serde_with`. <br>
The json parser is heavily inspire by `jiter` and `serde_json`.
