Serde-querystring



A query string parser for rust with support for different parsing methods.

Install

# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
serde-querystring = "0.2.0"

Usage

You can use the parsers provided in this crate directly, examples are available in each parser’s tests.

use serde_querystring::DuplicateQS;

let parsed = DuplicateQS::parse(b"foo=bar&foo=baz");
let values = parsed.values(b"foo"); // Will give you a vector of b"bar" and b"baz"

Or you can use serde(with serde feature, enabled by default)

use serde::Deserialize;
use serde_querystring::{from_str, ParseMode, DuplicateQS};

#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct MyStruct{
  foo: Vec<String> // Or (String, u32) tuple
}

let parsed: MyStruct = from_str("foo=bar&foo=2022", ParseMode::Duplicate).unwrap();
// or
let parsed: MyStruct = DuplicateQS::parse(b"foo=bar&foo=baz").deserialize().unwrap();

There are also crates for actix_web(serde-querystring-actix) and axum(serde-querystring-axum) which provide extractors for their frameworks and can be used without directly relying on the core crate.

Parsers

Simple Mode

Simply parses key=value pairs, accepting only one value per key. In case a key is repeated, we only collect the last value.

use serde_querystring::{UrlEncodedQS, ParseMode, from_str};

UrlEncodedQS::parse(b"key=value");
// or
let res: MyStruct = from_str("foo=bar&key=value", ParseMode::UrlEncoded).unwrap();

Repeated key mode

Supports vectors or values by repeating a key.

use serde_querystring::{DuplicateQS, ParseMode, from_str};

DuplicateQS::parse(b"foo=bar&foo=bar2&foo=bar3");
// or
let res: MyStruct = from_str("foo=bar&foo=bar2&foo=bar3", ParseMode::Duplicate).unwrap();

Delimiter mode

Supports vectors or values by using a delimiter byte(ex. b’|’).

use serde_querystring::{DelimiterQS, ParseMode, from_str};

DelimiterQS::parse(b"foo=bar|bar2|bar3", b'|');
// or
let res: MyStruct = from_str("foo=bar|bar2|bar3", ParseMode::Delimiter(b'|')).unwrap();

Brackets mode

Supports vectors or values by using a brackets and subkeys.

use serde_querystring::{BracketsQS, ParseMode, from_str};

BracketsQS::parse(b"foo[1]=bar&foo[2]=bar&foo[3]=bar");
// or
let res: MyStruct = from_str("foo[1]=bar&foo[2]=bar&foo[3]=bar", ParseMode::Brackets).unwrap();

Credit

We use some lines of code from form_urlencoded to parse percent encoded chars.

Structs

  • A querystring parser with support for vectors/lists, maps and enums(for serde) by the use of brackets(like qs or PHP).
  • A querystring parser with support for vectors/lists of values by the use of a delimiter(ex: |).
  • A querystring parser with support for vectors/lists of values by repeating keys.
  • The simplest parser for querystring It parses the whole querystring, and overwrites each repeated key’s value. it does not support vectors, maps nor tuples, but provides the best performance.

Enums

Functions

  • Deserialize an instance of type T from bytes of query string.
  • Deserialize an instance of type T from a query string.
