7/// Serialize value as string containing JSON
8///
9/// *Note*: This type is not necessary for normal usage of serde with JSON.
10/// It is only required if the serialized format contains a string, which itself contains JSON.
11///
12/// # Errors
13///
14/// Serialization can fail if `T`'s implementation of `Serialize` decides to
15/// fail, or if `T` contains a map with non-string keys.
16///
17/// # Examples
18///
19/// ```
20/// # #[cfg(feature = "macros")] {
21/// # use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
22/// # use serde_with::{serde_as, json::JsonString};
23/// #
24/// #[serde_as]
25/// #[derive(Deserialize, Serialize)]
26/// struct A {
27/// #[serde_as(as = "JsonString")]
28/// other_struct: B,
29/// }
30/// #[derive(Deserialize, Serialize)]
31/// struct B {
32/// value: usize,
33/// }
34///
35/// let v: A = serde_json::from_str(r#"{"other_struct":"{\"value\":5}"}"#).unwrap();
36/// assert_eq!(5, v.other_struct.value);
37///
38/// let x = A {
39/// other_struct: B { value: 10 },
40/// };
41/// assert_eq!(
42/// r#"{"other_struct":"{\"value\":10}"}"#,
43/// serde_json::to_string(&x).unwrap()
44/// );
45/// # }
46/// ```
47///
48/// The `JsonString` converter takes a type argument, which allows altering the serialization behavior of the inner value, before it gets turned into a JSON string.
49///

55/// #

57/// #[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, PartialEq)]
58/// struct Struct {
59/// #[serde_as(as = "JsonString<Vec<(JsonString, _)>>")]
60/// value: BTreeMap<[u8; 2], u32>,
61/// }
62///
63/// let value = Struct {
64/// value: BTreeMap::from([([1, 2], 3), ([4, 5], 6)]),
65/// };
66/// assert_eq!(
67/// r#"{"value":"[[\"[1,2]\",3],[\"[4,5]\",6]]"}"#,
68/// serde_json::to_string(&value).unwrap()
69/// );
