pub struct MaybeUnknownLengthCompound<'a, W, C> where
    W: 'a,
    C: 'a, 
{ /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Contains a Serializer for encoding elements of sequences and maps.

Note

If , for example, a field inside a struct is tagged with #serde(flatten) the total number of fields of this struct will be unknown to serde because flattened fields may have name clashes and then will be overwritten. So, serde wants to serialize the struct as a map with an unknown length.

For the described case a UnknownLengthCompound is used to encode the elements. On end() the counted length and the encoded elements will be written to the Serializer. A caveat is, that structs that contain flattened fields arem always written as a map, even when compact representaion is desired.

Otherwise, if the length is known, the elements will be encoded directly by the Serializer.
