Function from_slice 

pub fn from_slice<'a, T>(v: &'a [u8]) -> Result<T>
where
    T: Deserialize<'a>,

Deserialize an instance of type T from bytes of EnCom text.

Example

use serde::Deserialize;

#[derive(Deserialize, Debug)]
struct User {
    fingerprint: String,
    location: String,
}

fn main() {
    // The type of `j` is `&[u8]`
    let j = b"
            fingerprint:18=0xF9BA143B95FF6D82
            location:14=Menlo Park, CA
        ";

    let u: User = serde_encom::from_slice(j).unwrap();
    println!("{:#?}", u);
}

Errors

This conversion can fail if the structure of the input does not match the structure expected by T, for example if T is a struct type but the input contains something other than an EnCom map. It can also fail if the structure is correct but T’s implementation of Deserialize decides that something is wrong with the data, for example required struct fields are missing from the EnCom map or some number is too big to fit in the expected primitive type.
