minicbor-ser

This repository provides a simple implementation of [serde] for [minicbor], making it easier to use.

Quick start

Just like using other serde derived libraries:

toml [dependencies] minicbor-ser = "0.1.1"

• Serialization

```rust use minicbor_ser as cbor; use serde::Serialize; fn main(){ #[derive(Debug, Serialize)] struct TestStruct { hello: String, }

let test_struct = TestStruct {
        hello: "world".to_string(),
};

let value = cbor::to_vec(&test_struct).unwrap();
assert_eq!(
    [0xA1u8, 0x65, 0x68, 0x65, 0x6C, 0x6C, 0x6F, 0x65, 0x77, 0x6F, 0x72, 0x6C, 0x64],
    value.as_slice(),
)

} ```

• Deserialization ```rust use minicbor_ser as cbor; use serde::Deserialize; fn main(){

  [derive(Debug, Deserialize, PartialEq)]

  struct TestStruct { hello: String, }

  let data = [0xA1u8, 0x65, 0x68, 0x65, 0x6C, 0x6C, 0x6F, 0x65, 0x77, 0x6F, 0x72, 0x6C, 0x64];

  let value: TestStruct = cbor::from_slice(&data[..]).unwrap();

  asserteq!( TestStruct { hello: "world".tostring(), }, value, ); }

```

Type mapping table

The following represents how the minicbor-ser will map the types of Rust and CBOR - ❌ : Not support - ⚠ : Not perfect yet

| Rust | CBOR | | :--------------: | :--------------: | | unsigned integer | unsigned integer | | negative Integer | negative Integer | | u128 | ❌ | | i128 | ❌ | | &str | String | | String | String | | struct | map | | Map | map | | slice | array | | &[u8] | bytes | | tuple | array | | Vec | array | | newtype variant | map | | unit variant | String | | tuple variant | array | | struct variant | map | | ⚠ | tag |

no-std

The current no-std feature of minicbor-ser requires alloc. If your machine cannot use alloc, it is recommended that you use the derive feature that comes with minicbor.
To enable no-std, use :

toml [dependencies] minicbor-ser = { version = "0.1.1", default-features = false }
