muon-rs

A Rust library for the MuON data format, using serde.

See documentation for more information.

Deserializing

The easiest way to deserialize data is to derive [serde::Deserialize] on a struct. Then use one of the [from_] functions.

Example

MuON file: muon book: Pale Fire author: Vladimir Nabokov year: 1962 character: John Shade location: New Wye character: Charles Kinbote location: Zembla book: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time author: Mark Haddon year: 2003 character: Christopher Boone location: Swindon character: Siobhan

Rust code: ```rust

[derive(Debug, Deserialize, Serialize)]

struct BookList { book: Vec, }

[derive(Debug, Deserialize, Serialize)]

struct Book { title: String, author: String, year: Option, character: Vec, }

[derive(Debug, Deserialize, Serialize)]

struct Character { name: String, location: Option, }

let muon = File::open("tests/books.muon")?; let books: BookList = muonrs::fromreader(muon)?; println!("{:?}", books); ```

Serializing

Deriving [serde::Serialize] on a struct is just as easy. The [to_] functions are used to serialize MuON data.

Example

rust let books = BookList { book: vec![ Book { title: "Flight".to_string(), author: "Sherman Alexie".to_string(), year: Some(2007), character: vec![ Character { name: "Zits".to_string(), location: Some("Seattle".to_string()), }, Character { name: "Justice".to_string(), location: None, }, ], }, ], }; let muon = muon_rs::to_string(&books)?; println!("{:?}", muon);

Types

MuON types can be mapped to different Rust types.
