§Serde Compact

Compact structs and enums serialized with serde. Field names and enum tags are shortened and mapped with #[serde(rename =“”)] macro trading-off serialized data external interoperability for up to 50% size reduction. Use when both serialization and deserialization happens in Rust.

use serde_compact::compact;
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug)]
enum CallbackQuery {
    ReservationConfirmation { event_id: i32, user_id: i32, ticket_type: i32 },
    // ...
}
#[compact] // <= add before deriving Serialize
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, PartialEq, Debug)]
enum CompactCallbackQuery {
    ReservationConfirmation { event_id: i32, user_id: i32, ticket_type: i32 },
    // ...
}
fn main() {
    // Original serialization
    let s = CallbackQuery::ReservationConfirmation {event_id: 1, user_id: 1, ticket_type: 1};
    let ser_s = serde_json::to_string(&s).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(ser_s, r#"{"ReservationConfirmation":{"event_id":1,"user_id":1,"ticket_type":1}}"#);
    assert_eq!(ser_s.len(), 70);

    // Compacted
    let cs = CompactCallbackQuery::ReservationConfirmation {event_id: 1, user_id: 1, ticket_type: 1};
    let ser_cs = serde_json::to_string(&cs).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(ser_cs, r#"{"a":{"b":1,"d":1,"c":1}}"#);
    assert_eq!(ser_cs.len(), 25);

    let de: CompactCallbackQuery = serde_json::from_str(&ser_cs).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(cs, de);
}
