Examples

Converting a .torrent file

sh reserde -i bencode -o json --stringify utf8 --if manjaro-xfce-21.0.7-210614-linux510.iso.torrent

Output (excerpt):

json { "announce": "udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337", "created by": "mktorrent 1.1", "creation date": 1623684209, "info": { "length": 2600828928, "name": "manjaro-xfce-21.0.7-210614-linux510.iso", "piece length": 2097152, "pieces": [ 128, 236, 36, 37, 10, … ] }, "url-list": "https://download.manjaro.org/xfce/21.0.7/mfce/21.0.7/manjaro-xfce-21.0.7-210614-linux51anjaro-xfce-21.0.7-210614-linux510.iso" }

TAML to YAML

sh reserde -i taml -o yaml

```taml

[soundscapes]

// Sewer

[[loops].{sound, volume}]

"$sewer/ambdrips", 0.8 "$sewer/ambflies", 0.1 "$sewer/amb_hum", 0.05 // postfix comment

[moments]

sound: "$sewer/moments/*" layers: 1 first-interval-no-min: true interval-range: (10, 60) volume-range: (0.1, 0.15)

#

spaced \ identifier`: "asdhasd kjhdajkh" ```

```yaml

soundscapes: - loops: - sound: $sewer/ambdrips volume: 0.8 - sound: $sewer/ambflies volume: 0.1 - sound: $sewer/amb_hum volume: 0.05 moments: - sound: $sewer/moments/* layers: 1 first-interval-no-min: true interval-range: - 10 - 60 volume-range: - 0.1 - 0.15 "spaced ` identifier": asdhasd kjhdajkh ```

(Comments are generally stripped, as they can't be sent across Serde's interface.)

TAML to XML

sh reserde -i taml -o xml

```taml

[enums]: Structured

field1: true field2: false

[[enums]]

Tuple(1, 2, 3) Unit EmptyTuple() ```

xml <enums><Structured field_1="true" field_2="false"/><Tuple>1</Tuple><Tuple>2</Tuple><Tuple>3</Tuple><Unit/></enums>

Versioning

reserde strictly follows Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 with the following exceptions:

• The minor version will not reset to 0 on major version changes (except for v1).
  Consider it the global feature level.
• The patch version will not reset to 0 on major or minor version changes (except for v0.1 and v1).
  Consider it the global patch level.

This includes the Rust version requirement specified above.
Earlier Rust versions may be compatible, but this can change with minor or patch releases.

Which versions are affected by features and patches can be determined from the respective headings in CHANGELOG.md.

Note that dependencies of this crate may have a more lenient MSRV policy! Please use cargo +nightly update -Z minimal-versions in your automation if you don't generate Cargo.lock manually (or as necessary) and require support for a compiler older than current stable.
