Trait serializers::Serializer

pub trait Serializer<T> {
    fn serialize_into(&self, value: &T, builder: &mut Builder);

    fn to_value(&self, value: &T) -> Value { ... }
    fn serialize(&self, value: &T) -> String { ... }
    fn serialize_iter<'a, I>(&self, values: I) -> String
    where
        I: IntoIterator<Item = &'a T>,
        T: 'a,
    { ... }
}

The trait you implement in order to make a serializer.

Required Methods

fn serialize_into(&self, value: &T, builder: &mut Builder)

Add key-value pairs to the builder for the given object.

You shouldn’t have to call this method yourself. It’ll be called by other method in this trait.

Provided Methods

fn to_value(&self, value: &T) -> Value

Turn the given object into a serde_json::Value.

fn serialize(&self, value: &T) -> String

Turn the given object into a JSON string.

fn serialize_iter<'a, I>(&self, values: I) -> Stringwhere
    I: IntoIterator<Item = &'a T>,
    T: 'a,

Turn the given iterable into JSON array. The main usecase for this is to turn Vecs into JSON arrays, but works for any iterator.
