serde_clj

Convert Rust data structures to/from (relatively) idiomatic Clojure data in memory using JNI.

See test/src/lib.rs for a usage example.

Example

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct {
    number: i32,
    names: Vec<String>
}

becomes

{:number 3
 :names ["foo" "bar"]}

Notes/TODO

• Unsigned integers serialize to the 'next biggest' type (except u64, which becomes i64), since Java doesn't really support unsigned. Maybe there's a better solution.
• Accordingly, if you want to serialize a Vec<u8> representing binary data, you should annotate or wrap these fields with serde_bytes, or you will end up with a vector of java.lang.Short, which probably isn't very efficient.
• Check that struct field names are keywords when deserializing.
• More extensive tests.
