serde-feature-hack

DEPRECATED: Since Rust 1.31 it's possible to rename dependencies. There is no need to use this crate anymore.

A hack to allow having a feature named serde which doesn't just depend on serde

In Cargo.toml, you can do the following:

```toml [dependencies] serde-feature-hack = { version = "0.1.0", optional = true }

[features] serde = ["serde-feature-hack", "some-other-dependency"] ```

Then, you can use serde like you normally would, except the crate name is serde_feature_hack. It's possible to import it with the usual serde name.

```rust extern crate serdefeaturehack as serde; extern crate serde_json;

use serde::{Serialize, Serializer};

struct X;

impl Serialize for X { fn serialize(&self, serializer: S) -> Result { serializer.serialize_str("Hello, world!") } }

asserteq!(serdejson::to_string(&X).unwrap(), r#""Hello, world!""#); ```
