[][src]Struct serde::de::IgnoredAny

pub struct IgnoredAny;

An efficient way of discarding data from a deserializer.

Think of this like serde_json::Value in that it can be deserialized from any type, except that it does not store any information about the data that gets deserialized.

/// A seed that can be used to deserialize only the `n`th element of a sequence
/// while efficiently discarding elements of any type before or after index `n`.
///
/// For example to deserialize only the element at index 3:
///
/// ```
/// NthElement::new(3).deserialize(deserializer)
/// ```
