Struct ObjectCodec 

pub struct ObjectCodec { /* private fields */ }

Codec for encoding/decoding LinoValue to/from Links Notation.

This codec handles the conversion between LinoValue and Links Notation format strings. It supports circular references and shared object identity through object ID references.

Implementations

impl ObjectCodec

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a new ObjectCodec instance.

pub fn encode(&mut self, value: &LinoValue) -> String

Encode a LinoValue to the readable, indented Links Notation format.

This is the default representation: keys and values are written as plain text, one per line, so the result can be read and reviewed directly. See readable for the exact shape.

Arguments

• value - The value to encode

Returns

A string in readable Links Notation format

pub fn encode_with_indent(&mut self, value: &LinoValue, indent: &str) -> String

Encode a LinoValue to the readable format using a custom indentation string.

Arguments

• value - The value to encode
• indent - The indentation string used per nesting level (for example " ")

pub fn encode_compact(&mut self, value: &LinoValue) -> String

Encode a LinoValue to the compact, single-line Links Notation format.

Every value is tagged with its type and every string is base64-encoded, so the whole document fits on one line and carries no readable text. This was the default before the readable format; callers now opt into it explicitly.

Arguments

• value - The value to encode

Returns

A string in compact Links Notation format

pub fn encode_obfuscated(&mut self, value: &LinoValue) -> String

Encode a LinoValue to the compact, base64 form.

Alias of ObjectCodec::encode_compact, named after what the form does to its content: nothing in the output can be read without decoding it.

pub fn decode(&mut self, notation: &str) -> Result<LinoValue, CodecError>

Decode Links Notation format to a LinoValue.

Arguments

• notation - String in Links Notation format

Returns

The reconstructed value, or an error

Both the readable format and the compact (base64) format are accepted, so files written by earlier versions keep working and migrate on next write.

pub fn decode_compact( &mut self, notation: &str, ) -> Result<LinoValue, CodecError>

Decode the compact (base64) Links Notation format.

Arguments

• notation - String in compact Links Notation format

Returns

The reconstructed value, or an error

Trait Implementations

impl Default for ObjectCodec

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.
