Struct serde_cbor::Serializer

pub struct Serializer<W> { /* private fields */ }

A structure for serializing Rust values to CBOR.

Implementations

impl<W> Serializer<W> where
    W: Write, 

pub fn new(writer: W) -> Self

Creates a new CBOR serializer.

to_vec and to_writer should normally be used instead of this method.

pub fn packed_format(self) -> Self

Choose concise/packed format for serializer.

In the packed format enum variant names and field names are replaced with numeric indizes to conserve space.

pub fn legacy_enums(self) -> Self

Enable old enum format used by serde_cbor versions <= v0.9.

The legacy_enums option determines how enums are encoded.

This makes no difference when encoding and decoding enums using this crate, but it shows up when decoding to a Value or decoding in other languages.

Examples

Given the following enum

enum Enum {
    Unit,
    NewType(i32),
    Tuple(String, bool),
    Struct{ x: i32, y: i32 },
}

we will give the Value with the same encoding for each case using JSON notation.

Default encodings

• Enum::Unit encodes as "Unit"
• Enum::NewType(10) encodes as {"NewType": 10}
• Enum::Tuple("x", true) encodes as {"Tuple": ["x", true]}

Legacy encodings

• Enum::Unit encodes as "Unit"
• Enum::NewType(10) encodes as ["NewType", 10]
• Enum::Tuple("x", true) encodes as ["Tuple", "x", true]
• Enum::Struct{ x: 5, y: -5 } encodes as ["Struct", {"x": 5, "y": -5}]

pub fn self_describe(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Writes a CBOR self-describe tag to the stream.

Tagging allows a decoder to distinguish different file formats based on their content without further information.

pub fn into_inner(self) -> W

Unwrap the Writer from the Serializer.

impl<'a, W> Serializer for &'a mut Serializer<W> where
    W: Write, 

type Ok = ()

The output type produced by this Serializer during successful serialization. Most serializers that produce text or binary output should set Ok = () and serialize into an io::Write or buffer contained within the Serializer instance. Serializers that build in-memory data structures may be simplified by using Ok to propagate the data structure around.

type Error = Error

The error type when some error occurs during serialization.
