Struct Serializer 

pub struct Serializer { /* private fields */ }

Serializes values into Values.

This is a Serializer which builds a value from the events of a serialized value. It’s what to_value uses, use it directly to configure the serialization, for instance to add layers. Every call to serialize adds a value:

use deser::ser::{Layer, Next};
use deser::{Atom, Error, Event};
use deser_value::{Serializer, value};

/// Writes all numbers as strings.
struct NumbersAsStrings;

impl Layer for NumbersAsStrings {
    fn event(
        &mut self,
        event: Event<'_>,
        next: &mut Next<'_>,
    ) -> Result<(), Error> {
        match event {
            Event::Atom(Atom::U64(value)) => {
                next.emit(value.to_string().into())
            }
            event => next.emit(event),
        }
    }
}

let mut serializer = Serializer::new();
serializer.serialize(&true).unwrap();
serializer
    .serialize_with(&vec![1u64, 2], |driver| {
        driver.push_layer(NumbersAsStrings)
    })
    .unwrap();
assert_eq!(serializer.finish(), [value!(true), value!(["1", "2"])]);

The event data of the serialized values (such as formatting hints) is captured in the meta data of the values.

Implementations

impl Serializer

pub fn new() -> Serializer

Creates a serializer.

pub fn serialize(&mut self, value: &dyn Serialize) -> Result<(), Error>

Serializes a value.

If the value fails to serialize, nothing is added.

pub fn serialize_with<F>( &mut self, value: &dyn Serialize, setup: F, ) -> Result<(), Error>

where F: FnOnce(&mut SerializeDriver<'_>),

Serializes a value with a configured driver.

The callback is invoked with the driver before the value is serialized, for instance to add Layers.

pub fn values(&self) -> &[Value]

Returns the values serialized so far.

pub fn finish(self) -> Vec<Value>

Returns the values.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Serializer

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Serializer

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for Serializer

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl Serializer for Serializer

fn drive(&mut self, driver: &mut SerializeDriver<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Receives the events of a value from the driver and writes them into the output.

fn serialize(&mut self, value: &dyn Serialize) -> Result<(), Error>

Serializes a value.

fn serialize_with<F>( &mut self, value: &dyn Serialize, setup: F, ) -> Result<(), Error>

where F: FnOnce(&mut SerializeDriver<'_>), Self: Sized,

Serializes a value with a configured driver.
