use serde_json::json; // From the serde_json docs: // // > There are three common ways that you might find yourself needing to work with // > JSON data in Rust. // > // > 1. As text data. An unprocessed string of JSON data that you receive on an // > HTTP endpoint, read from a file, or prepare to send to a remote server. // > 2. As an untyped or loosely typed representation. Maybe you want to check // > that some JSON data is valid before passing it on, but without knowing // > the structure of what it contains. Or you want to do very basic // > manipulations like insert a key in a particular spot. // > 3. As a strongly typed Rust data structure. When you expect all or most of // > your data to conform to a particular structure and want to get real work // > done without JSON’s loosey-goosey nature tripping you up. // // So let's take a look at all three... // 1) Reading/writing from/to plain text. // TL;DR: // - read: serde_json::from_str(data) // - write: x.to_string() fn one() { let data = json!({ "fname": "William", "lname": "Carroll", "age": 30, }) .to_string(); println!("result: {:?}", data); } fn main() { one() }
