Variants

Int(i64)

List(Vec<Value>)

Tuple(Vec<Value>)

Record(IndexMap<String, Value>)

Variant

Fields

name: String

args: Vec<Value>

Closure

First-class function value (a lambda + its captured locals). The function’s first captures.len() params bind to captures; the remaining params are supplied at call time.

Fields

fn_id: u32

captures: Vec<Value>

F64Array

Dense row-major f64 matrix. A “fast lane” representation that avoids the per-element Value::Float boxing of Value::List. Used by Core’s native tensor ops (matmul, dot, …) so end-to-end matmul perf hits the §13.7 #1 100ms target without paying for 2M Value boxings at the call boundary.

Fields

rows: u32

cols: u32

data: Vec<f64>

Map(BTreeMap<MapKey, Value>)

Persistent map keyed by MapKey (Str or Int). Insertion- independent equality (sorted by BTreeMap’s Ord), so two maps built from the same pairs in different orders compare equal. Restricting keys to two primitive variants keeps Eq + Hash requirements off Value itself, which has closures and floats and can’t be hashed soundly.

Set(BTreeSet<MapKey>)

Persistent set with the same key-type discipline as Map.

Deque(VecDeque<Value>)

Double-ended queue. O(1) push/pop on both ends; otherwise behaves like List for iteration / equality / JSON shape. Lex’s type system tracks Deque[T] separately from List[T] so users explicitly opt in to deque semantics; the runtime uses this dedicated variant rather than backing a deque on top of Value::List (which would make push_front O(n)).

Implementations

impl Value

pub fn as_int(&self) -> i64

pub fn as_float(&self) -> f64

pub fn as_bool(&self) -> bool

pub fn as_str(&self) -> &str

pub fn to_json(&self) -> Value

Render this Value as a serde_json::Value for emission to CLI output, the agent API, conformance harness reports, etc. Canonical mapping shared across crates; previously every boundary had its own copy.

Encoding:

• Variant { name, args } → {"$variant": name, "args": [...]}
• F64Array { ... } → {"$f64_array": true, rows, cols, data}
• Closure { fn_id, .. } → "<closure fn_N>"
• Bytes → {"$bytes": "deadbeef"} (lowercase hex). Round-trips through from_json. Bare hex strings decode as Str, so the marker is required to disambiguate bytes from a string that happens to look like hex.
• Map with all-Str keys → JSON object; otherwise array of [key, value] pairs (Int keys can’t be JSON-object keys)
• Set → JSON array of elements
• other variants → their natural JSON shape

Note: this form is not round-trippable for traces (see lex-trace’s recorder, which uses a richer marker form).

pub fn from_json(v: &Value) -> Value

Decode a serde_json::Value into a Value. The inverse of to_json for the shapes Lex round-trips:

• {"$variant": "Name", "args": [...]} → Value::Variant
• {"$bytes": "deadbeef"} → Value::Bytes (lowercase hex; an odd-length string or non-hex character falls through to Value::Record, matching the malformed-$variant fallback)
• JSON object → Value::Record
• JSON array → Value::List
• JSON null → Value::Unit
• JSON string / bool / number → the corresponding scalar

Map, Set, F64Array, and Closure don’t round-trip — they decode as their natural JSON shape (Object / Array / Object / Str respectively), since the CLI / HTTP / VM callers building Values from JSON don’t have those shapes in their input vocabulary.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Value

fn clone(&self) -> Value

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Value

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for Value

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

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

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

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