typeshift

typeshift provides a Zod-like parse workflow with idiomatic Rust types.

The struct or enum is the single source of truth. With one derive, you get:

• Serialize
• Deserialize
• Validate
• JsonSchema

Install

[dependencies]
typeshift = "0.2"

Quick start

use typeshift::TypeShift;

#[derive(TypeShift)]
struct User {
    #[validate(length(min = 3))]
    name: String,
}

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let user: User = typeshift::parse_str(r#"{"name":"Ada"}"#)?;
    let json = typeshift::to_json(&user)?;
    let schema = typeshift::schema_json::<User>();

    assert_eq!(json, r#"{"name":"Ada"}"#);
    assert_eq!(schema["type"], "object");
    Ok(())
}

API

• parse_str<T: TypeShift>(&str) -> Result<T, TypeShiftError>
• to_json<T: TypeShift>(&T) -> Result<String, serde_json::Error>
• schema_json<T: TypeShift>() -> serde_json::Value

Notes

• #[derive(TypeShift)] supports structs and enums, including generics.
• Unions are intentionally not supported.
