Serde Millis

Documentation | Github | Crate

A serde wrapper, that can be used to serialize timestamps and durations as milliseconds. It's often useful together with serde_json to communicate with Javascript.

Example

#[macro_use]
extern crate serde_derive;

extern crate serde;
extern crate serde_millis;

use std::time::{Duration, SystemTime, Instant};

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct Timestamps {
    #[serde(with = "serde_millis")]
    time: SystemTime,

    #[serde(with = "serde_millis")]
    latency: Duration,

    // Instant is serialized relative to the current time, or in
    // other words by formula (but works for future instants too):
    //
    //   ts = SystemTime::now() - (Instant::now() - target_instant)
    //
    #[serde(with = "serde_millis")]
    timestamp: Instant,
}
