<p>The two most important traits in this module are <a href="../trait.Serialize.html"><code>Serialize</code></a> and
|
|
|
<a href="../trait.Serializer.html"><code>Serializer</code></a>.</p>
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
<li><strong>A type that implements <code>Serialize</code> is a data structure</strong> that can be
|
|
|
serialized to any data format supported by Serde, and conversely</li>
|
|
|
<li><strong>A type that implements <code>Serializer</code> is a data format</strong> that can
|
|
|
serialize any data structure supported by Serde.</li>
|
|
|
</ul>

|
|
<h1 id="the-serialize-trait" class="section-header"><a href="#the-serialize-trait">The Serialize trait</a></h1>
|
|
|
<p>Serde provides <a href="../trait.Serialize.html"><code>Serialize</code></a> implementations for many Rust primitive and
|
|
|
standard library types. The complete list is below. All of these can be
|
|
|
serialized using Serde out of the box.</p>
|
|
|
<p>Additionally, Serde provides a procedural macro called <a href="https://crates.io/crates/serde_derive"><code>serde_derive</code></a> to
|
|
|
automatically generate <a href="../trait.Serialize.html"><code>Serialize</code></a> implementations for structs and enums
|
|
|
in your program. See the <a href="https://serde.rs/derive.html">derive section of the manual</a> for how to use this.</p>
|
|
|
<p>In rare cases it may be necessary to implement <a href="../trait.Serialize.html"><code>Serialize</code></a> manually for
|
|
|
some type in your program. See the <a href="https://serde.rs/impl-serialize.html">Implementing <code>Serialize</code></a> section of the
|
|
|
manual for more about this.</p>
|
|
|
<p>Third-party crates may provide <a href="../trait.Serialize.html"><code>Serialize</code></a> implementations for types that
|
|
|
they expose. For example the <a href="https://crates.io/crates/linked-hash-map"><code>linked-hash-map</code></a> crate provides a
|
|
|
<a href="https://docs.rs/linked-hash-map/*/linked_hash_map/struct.LinkedHashMap.html"><code>LinkedHashMap<K, V></code></a> type that is serializable by Serde because the crate
|
|
|
provides an implementation of <a href="../trait.Serialize.html"><code>Serialize</code></a> for it.</p>
|
|
|
<h1 id="the-serializer-trait" class="section-header"><a href="#the-serializer-trait">The Serializer trait</a></h1>
|
|
|
<p><a href="../trait.Serializer.html"><code>Serializer</code></a> implementations are provided by third-party crates, for
|
|
|
example <a href="https://github.com/serde-rs/json"><code>serde_json</code></a>, <a href="https://github.com/dtolnay/serde-yaml"><code>serde_yaml</code></a> and <a href="https://github.com/TyOverby/bincode"><code>bincode</code></a>.</p>
|
|
|
<p>A partial list of well-maintained formats is given on the <a href="https://serde.rs/#data-formats">Serde
|
|
|
website</a>.</p>
