Crate serde [−] [src]

Serde Serialization Framework

Serde is a powerful framework that enables serialization libraries to generically serialize Rust data structures without the overhead of runtime type information. In many situations, the handshake protocol between serializers and serializees can be completely optimized away, leaving serde to perform roughly the same speed as a hand written serializer for a specific type.

Modules

bytes	Helper module to enable serializing bytes more efficiently
de	Generic deserialization framework.
iter	Module that contains helper iterators.
ser	Generic serialization framework.

Macros

forward_to_deserialize

Helper to forward Deserializer methods to Deserializer::deserialize. Every given method ignores all arguments and forwards to deserialize. Note that deserialize_enum simply returns an Error::invalid_type; a better approach is tracked in serde-rs/serde#521.
