pub trait Decodable: Sized {
// Required method
fn decode<D: Decoder>(d: &mut D) -> Result<Self, D::Error>;
}Expand description
Trait for deserializing a type.
This can be implemented for custom data types to allow them to be decoded
with Decoder implementations. Most of Rust’s built-in or standard data
types (like i32 and Vec<T>) have Decodable implementations provided by
this module.
Note that, in general, you should let the compiler implement this for you by
using the derive(RustcDecodable) attribute.
§Examples
extern crate rustc_serialize;
#[derive(RustcDecodable)]
struct Point {
x: i32,
y: i32,
}This generates code equivalent to:
extern crate rustc_serialize;
use rustc_serialize::Decodable;
use rustc_serialize::Decoder;
struct Point {
x: i32,
y: i32,
}
impl Decodable for Point {
fn decode<D: Decoder>(d: &mut D) -> Result<Point, D::Error> {
d.read_struct("Point", 2, |d| {
let x = try!(d.read_struct_field("x", 0, |d| { d.read_i32() }));
let y = try!(d.read_struct_field("y", 1, |d| { d.read_i32() }));
Ok(Point{ x: x, y: y })
})
}

Dyn Compatibility§
This trait is not dyn compatible.
In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
