Description

This tool "traduit" (french for translate) data formats. It was made in the hope to bring serde to the cli (serdi ^^). But that not exaclty what serde is about and I have no affiliation with them so I did not want to namesquat.

Installation

First install the rust toolchain and then execute the following command: sh cargo install tradaf

Usage example

Prettify (or minify) some data format for ease of reading (resp: compact and have less data to save/transfert) sh tradaf json json --pretty < simple.json

Litterally transcode between data formats sh tradaf ron yaml < examples/standard.ron

Transcode into JSON so we can use jq, do some transformations and then transcode again into another format for viewing sh tradaf RON json < examples/gameConfig.ron | jq .key_bindings | tradaf Json yaml

TODOS

• [ ] Implement all data formats, or at least the one that expose a serde serializer or deserializer.
  • [-] Bencode
  • [X] Deserialization
  • [ ] Serialization
  • [ ] BSON
  • [ ] CBOR
  • [-] DBus (not sure it is working, but it compile…)
  • [ ] DynamoDB
  • [ ] Envy (deserialization only)
  • [ ] Envy store (deserialization only)
  • [ ] FlexBuffer
  • The Serializer and Deserializer exposed does not work with serde-transcode.
  • [-] GVariant => See DBus: the same crate propose both
  • [ ] HJSON
  • [X] JSON
  • [-] JSON5
  • [X] Deserialization
  • [ ] Serialization
  • [ ] https://github.com/Lucretiel/kaydle
  • [ ] S-Expressions (lisp)
  • [X] Pickle
  • [ ] Test properly both way
  • [-] Query String (URL)
  • [ ] Deserialization
  • [X] Serialization
  • [-] MessagePack
  • [ ] Deserialization
  • [X] Serialization
  • [X] RON
  • [ ] TOML
  • [X] YAML
  • [ ] …
• [ ] Add tests for each serializer and each deserializer (at least one)
• [ ] Check if crates have features that we should enable/disable
  • [ ] zvariant looks to include async runtime by default
• [ ] Check my notes for each data format and open an issue on the crates to point problem/present my project and ask for help
• [ ] Add proper error handling (find a mentor to explain me propper error management: struct, enum, … and then use anyhow/this_error if needed)
