Struct VecSkipError 

pub struct VecSkipError<T, I = ()>(/* private fields */);

Available on crate feature alloc only.

Deserialize a sequence into Vec<T>, skipping elements which fail to deserialize.

The serialization behavior is identical to Vec<T>. This is an alternative to Vec<T> which is resilient against unexpected data.

You can be notified of skipped elements by providing a type that implements the InspectError trait. The second generic argument I defaults to (), which does nothing.

Examples

Basic Usage

#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize)]
enum Color {
    Red,
    Green,
    Blue,
}
#[serde_as]
#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize)]
struct Palette(#[serde_as(as = "VecSkipError<_>")] Vec<Color>);

let data = Palette(vec![Blue, Green,]);
let source_json = r#"["Blue", "Yellow", "Green"]"#;
let data_json = r#"["Blue","Green"]"#;
// Ensure serialization and deserialization produce the expected results
assert_eq!(data_json, serde_json::to_string(&data).unwrap());
assert_eq!(data, serde_json::from_str(source_json).unwrap());

Using InspectError to log skipped elements

struct ErrorInspector;

thread_local! {
    static ERRORS: RefCell<Vec<String>> = RefCell::new(Vec::new());
}

impl InspectError for ErrorInspector {
    fn inspect_error(error: impl serde::de::Error) {
        ERRORS.with(|errors| errors.borrow_mut().push(error.to_string()));
    }
}

#[serde_as]
#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Deserialize, Serialize)]
struct S {
    tag: String,
    #[serde_as(as = "VecSkipError<_, ErrorInspector>")]
    values: Vec<u8>,
}

let json = r#"{"tag":"type","values":[0, "str", 1, [10, 11], -2, {}, 300]}"#;
let s: S = serde_json::from_str(json).unwrap();
assert_eq!(s.values, vec![0, 1]);

let errors = ERRORS.with(|errors| errors.borrow().clone());
eprintln!("Errors: {errors:#?}");
assert_eq!(errors.len(), 5);
assert!(errors[0].contains("invalid type: string \"str\", expected u8"));
assert!(errors[1].contains("invalid type: sequence, expected u8"));
assert!(errors[2].contains("invalid value: integer `-2`, expected u8"));
assert!(errors[3].contains("invalid type: map, expected u8"));
assert!(errors[4].contains("invalid value: integer `300`, expected u8"));
