Function ruma::serde::empty_string_as_none

pub fn empty_string_as_none<'de, D, T>(
    de: D
) -> Result<Option<T>, <D as Deserializer<'de>>::Error> where
    T: Deserialize<'de>,
    D: Deserializer<'de>, 

Serde deserialization decorator to map empty Strings to None, and forward non-empty Strings to the Deserialize implementation for T. Useful for the typical “A room with an X event with an absent, null, or empty Y field should be treated the same as a room with no such event.” formulation in the spec.

To be used like this: #[serde(deserialize_with = "empty_string_as_none")] Relevant serde issue: https://github.com/serde-rs/serde/issues/1425
