Error returned by try_get_path / try_set_path / try_remove_path.

Distinguishes the several ways a path operation can fail so callers can react appropriately, instead of getting the previous silent no-op or ambiguous None.

Variants

Parse(PathParseError)

The path string is malformed (unclosed [, non-usize index).

EmptyPath

The path parsed to zero segments (typically the empty string or a run of stray dots).

NoRoot

The receiver has no root value to descend into: Document was empty, or the requested operation needed a root mapping and the document’s root is a scalar / sequence.

TypeMismatch

A segment tried to descend into a value of the wrong container type – e.g. treating a scalar as a mapping in foo.bar when foo is a scalar. at is the segment index ("foo" in the example above) that led to the type mismatch.

Fields

at: String

The segment whose value was not the expected container type.

NotFound

The target segment does not exist. Applies to try_get_path and try_remove_path; try_set_path creates missing intermediates and never reports this. at is the missing segment.

Fields

at: String

The segment that could not be resolved.

AliasRefused

A segment landed on an alias (*name) and the active AliasPolicy refused to go through it. at is the segment, alias the anchor name it referenced.

Fields

at: String

The segment whose value is an alias.

alias: String

The anchor name the alias references, without the *.

IndexTooFar

Setting the requested index would have grown a sequence by more than MAX_INDEX_GROWTH null placeholders.

try_set_path("s[900000]", v) on a short sequence would otherwise pad it with that many entries, so a path from untrusted input could spend unbounded time and memory.

Fields

at: String

The segment whose index was out of reach.

len: usize

The current length of the sequence.

index: usize

The index that was asked for.

UndefinedAlias

A segment landed on an alias whose anchor is not defined anywhere in the document, so it could not be resolved.

Fields

at: String

The segment whose value is a dangling alias.

alias: String

The anchor name the alias references, without the *.
