# serde_shon

serde_shon is a Rust library for parsing the SHON data format. The definition of
the format is based on the description present in [shon-go](https://github.com/abhinav/shon-go).
This library is intended to be used with [Serde](https://serde.rs/).
## Installation
Include the library as part of the dependencies in `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
serde_shon = "0.1.0"
```
## Usage
```rs
use serde::Deserialize;
use serde_shon::from_args;
use std::env;
#[derive(Deserialize, Debug)]
struct Data {
field: Option<String>,
}
fn main() {
let d: Data = from_args(env::args()).unwrap();
dbg!(d.field);
}
```
## Features
The serializer supports common Rust data types for serialization and
deserialization, like enums and structs.
The library might currently still have a few bugs and be incomplete in the
implementation. If you find something troubling, either write up an issue or
perhaps even a PR, contributions are always welcome.
