Struct Unescape 

pub struct Unescape<'a> { /* private fields */ }

An iterator over a byte slice that yields UnescapedChunks.

Created by the unescape function.

Implementations

impl<'a> Unescape<'a>

pub fn decode_utf8(self) -> Result<Cow<'a, str>, DecodeUtf8Error>

Decodes the unescaped byte stream into a UTF-8 string.

This method consumes the iterator and collects all resulting byte chunks into a Cow<[u8]>, which is then validated as UTF-8. If an unescaping error occurs, it’s returned immediately. If the final sequence of bytes is not valid UTF-8, a UTF-8 error is returned.

This is optimized to return a Cow::Borrowed if no escapes were present in the input, avoiding allocation.

Requires the alloc feature.

Example

use json_escape::explicit::unescape;

let input = r#"Emoji: \uD83D\uDE00"#;
let cow = unescape(input).decode_utf8().unwrap();

assert_eq!(cow, "Emoji: 😀");

pub fn decode_utf8_lossy(self) -> Result<Cow<'a, str>, UnescapeError>

Decodes the unescaped byte stream lossily into a UTF-8 string.

This is similar to Unescape::decode_utf8 but replaces any invalid UTF-8 sequences with the replacement character (U+FFFD) instead of returning an error.

An UnescapeError can still be returned if the JSON escaping itself is invalid.

Requires the alloc feature.

pub fn display_utf8(self) -> DisplayUnescape<'a>

Returns a wrapper that implements fmt::Display.

If an unescaping error or invalid UTF-8 sequence is encountered, a fmt::Error is returned, which will cause format! and friends to panic.

pub fn display_utf8_lossy(self) -> DisplayUnescape<'a>

Returns a wrapper that implements [fmt::Display for lossy UTF-8 decoding.

Invalid UTF-8 sequences will be replaced with the replacement character. An unescaping error will still result in a fmt::Error.

impl<B: AsRef<[u8]> + ?Sized> PartialEq<B> for Unescape<'_>

fn eq(&self, other: &B) -> bool

Compares the unescaped output with a byte-slice-like object.

impl<B: AsRef<[u8]>> PartialEq<Unescape<'_>> for Result<B, UnescapeError>

fn eq(&self, unescape: &Unescape<'_>) -> bool

Compares the unescaper’s outcome with a Result.

This allows for precise testing of Unescape against either a successful outcome (Ok(bytes)) or a specific failure (Err(error)).

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl<'a, 'b> PartialEq<Unescape<'a>> for Unescape<'b>

fn eq(&self, other: &Unescape<'a>) -> bool

Compares two Unescape iterators for equality based on their terminal result.

The equality of two Unescape iterators is determined by the final Result that would be obtained if each iterator were fully consumed (e.g., by using try_collect()).

The specific rules are as follows:

1. Error vs. Error: If both iterators terminate with an Err, they are considered equal if and only if their UnescapeErrors are identical. Any bytes successfully unescaped before the error are ignored in this case.
2. Success vs. Success: If both iterators terminate with Ok, they are considered equal if and only if the complete sequence of unescaped bytes is identical for both.
3. Success vs. Error: If one iterator terminates with Ok and the other with Err, they are always not equal.

Example

use json_escape::explicit::unescape;

// Case 1: Both iterators produce the same error. They are equal,
// even though their valid prefixes ("a" and "b") are different.
let failing_a = unescape(r#"a\k"#);
let failing_b = unescape(r#"b\k"#);
assert_eq!(failing_a, failing_b);

// Case 2: Both iterators succeed. Equality depends on the byte stream.
let successful_a = unescape(r#"hello\nworld"#);
let successful_b = unescape(r#"hello\nworld"#);
assert_eq!(successful_a, successful_b);

let successful_c = unescape(r#"different"#);
assert_ne!(successful_a, successful_c);

// Case 3: One succeeds and one fails. They are not equal.
let succeeding = unescape(r#"stop"#);
let failing = unescape(r#"stop\k"#);
assert_ne!(succeeding, failing);

// Case 4: Both iterators fail differently. They are not equal.
let failing_a = unescape(r#"data:\k"#);
let failing_b = unescape(r#"data:\"#);
assert_ne!(failing_a, failing_b);

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
