Crate serde

DEPRECATED: Since Rust 1.31 it’s possible to rename dependencies. There is no need to use this crate anymore.

A hack to allow having a feature named serde which doesn’t just depend on serde

In Cargo.toml, you can do the following:

[dependencies]
serde-feature-hack = { version = "0.1.0", optional = true }

[features]
serde = ["serde-feature-hack", "some-other-dependency"]

Then, you can use serde like you normally would.

extern crate serde;
extern crate serde_json;

use serde::{Serialize, Serializer};

struct X;

impl Serialize for X {
    fn serialize<S: Serializer>(&self, serializer: S) -> Result<S::Ok, S::Error> {
        serializer.serialize_str("Hello, world!")
    }
}

assert_eq!(serde_json::to_string(&X).unwrap(), r#""Hello, world!""#);
