A Serde-based document converter.

## Installation

You can install `reserde` using Cargo:

```cmd
cargo install reserde
```

## Usage

```sh
reserde --help
```

```txt
Usage: reserde.exe [--if <if>] [--of <of>] -i <in> -o <out> [-p] [-s <stringify...>] [--enum-bools]

Transcode a self-describing format into a different format. Currently supports Bencode, Bincode (--out only), CBOR, JSON (--pretty), TAML (--in only), XML, x-www-form-urlencoded (as urlencoded) and YAML. All names are lowercase.

Options:
  --if              where to read input from. Defaults to stdin
  --of              where to write output to. Defaults to stdout
  -i, --in          what to read
  -o, --out         what to write
  -p, --pretty      pretty-print (where supported)
  -s, --stringify   stringify bytes and non-string value keys into strings where
                    possible, possible values are: utf8. (Tries encodings in the
                    order specified.) [try with: --in bencode]
  --enum-bools      case-insensitively convert unit variants with name `true` or
                    `false` into booleans.
  --help            display usage information
```

## Examples

### Converting a `.torrent` file

```sh
reserde -i bencode -o json --stringify utf8 --if manjaro-xfce-21.0.7-210614-linux510.iso.torrent
```

Output (excerpt):

```json

}
```

### TAML to YAML

```sh
reserde -i taml -o yaml
```

```taml
# [soundscapes]
// Sewer

## [[loops].{sound, volume}]
"$sewer/amb_drips", 0.8
"$sewer/amb_flies", 0.1
"$sewer/amb_hum", 0.05 // postfix comment

## [moments]
sound: "$sewer/moments/*"
layers: 1
first-interval-no-min: true
interval-range: (10, 60)
volume-range: (0.1, 0.15)
`spaced \` identifier`: "asdhasd kjhdajkh"
```

```yaml
---
soundscapes:
  - loops:
      - sound: $sewer/amb_drips
        volume: 0.8
      - sound: $sewer/amb_flies
        volume: 0.1
      - sound: $sewer/amb_hum
        volume: 0.05
    moments:
      - sound: $sewer/moments/*
        layers: 1
        first-interval-no-min: true
        interval-range:
          - 10
          - 60
        volume-range:
          - 0.1
          - 0.15
        "spaced ` identifier": asdhasd kjhdajkh
```

(Comments are generally stripped, as they can't be sent across Serde's interface.)

### TAML to XML

```sh
reserde -i taml -o xml
```

```taml
# [enums]: Structured
field_1: true
field_2: false

# [[enums]]
Tuple(1, 2, 3)
Unit
EmptyTuple()
```

```xml
<enums><Structured field_1="true" field_2="false"/><Tuple>1</Tuple><Tuple>2</Tuple><Tuple>3</Tuple><Unit/></enums>
```
