serde_str 0.1.0

//! # Serde Str
//!
//! [Documentation](https://docs.rs/serde_str) |
//! [Github](https://github.com/tailhook/serde-str) |
//! [Crate](https://crates.io/crates/serde_str)
//!
//! A (de)serializer for anything that has implemented `FromStr` / `Display`
//! but does not have `Serialize`/`Deserialize`.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! #[macro_use]
//! extern crate serde_derive;
//!
//! extern crate serde;
//! extern crate serde_str;
//!
//! use std::net::IpAddr;
//!
//!
//! #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
//! struct Timestamps {
//!     #[serde(with = "serde_str")]
//!     pattern: IpAddr,
//! }
//!
//! #
//! # fn main() {}
//! ```
