//! # Serde JSON
//!
//! JSON is a ubiquitous open-standard format that uses human-readable text to
//! transmit data objects consisting of key-value pairs.
//!
//! ```json
//! {
//! "name": "John Doe",
//! "age": 43,
//! "address": {
//! "street": "10 Downing Street",
//! "city": "London"
//! },
//! "phones": [
//! "+44 1234567",
//! "+44 2345678"
//! ]
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! There are three common ways that you might find yourself needing to work
//! with JSON data in Rust.
//!
//! - **As text data.** An unprocessed string of JSON data that you receive on
//! an HTTP endpoint, read from a file, or prepare to send to a remote
//! server.
//! - **As an untyped or loosely typed representation.** Maybe you want to
//! check that some JSON data is valid before passing it on, but without
//! knowing the structure of what it contains. Or you want to do very basic
//! manipulations like insert a key in a particular spot.
//! - **As a strongly typed Rust data structure.** When you expect all or most
//! of your data to conform to a particular structure and want to get real
//! work done without JSON's loosey-goosey nature tripping you up.
//!
//! Serde JSON provides efficient, flexible, safe ways of converting data
//! between each of these representations.
//!
//! # Operating on untyped JSON values
//!
//! Any valid JSON data can be manipulated in the following recursive enum
//! representation. This data structure is [`serde_json::Value`][value].
//!
//! ```
//! # use serde_json::{Number, Map};
//! #
//! # #[allow(dead_code)]
//! enum Value {
//! Null,
//! Bool(bool),
//! Number(Number),
//! String(String),
//! Array(Vec<Value>),
//! Object(Map<String, Value>),
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! A string of JSON data can be parsed into a `serde_json::Value` by the
//! [`serde_json::from_str`][from_str] function. There is also [`from_slice`]
//! for parsing from a byte slice &\[u8\] and [`from_reader`] for parsing from
//! any `io::Read` like a File or a TCP stream.
//!
//! ```
//! use serde_json::{Result, Value};
//!
//! fn untyped_example() -> Result<()> {
//! // Some JSON input data as a &str. Maybe this comes from the user.
//! let data = r#"
//! {
//! "name": "John Doe",
//! "age": 43,
//! "phones": [
//! "+44 1234567",
//! "+44 2345678"
//! ]
//! }"#;
//!
//! // Parse the string of data into serde_json::Value.
//! let v: Value = serde_json::from_str(data)?;
//!
//! // Access parts of the data by indexing with square brackets.
//! println!("Please call {} at the number {}", v["name"], v["phones"][0]);
//!
//! Ok(())
//! }
//! #
//! # fn main() {
//! # untyped_example().unwrap();
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! The result of square bracket indexing like `v["name"]` is a borrow of the
//! data at that index, so the type is `&Value`. A JSON map can be indexed with
//! string keys, while a JSON array can be indexed with integer keys. If the
//! type of the data is not right for the type with which it is being indexed,
//! or if a map does not contain the key being indexed, or if the index into a
//! vector is out of bounds, the returned element is `Value::Null`.
//!
//! When a `Value` is printed, it is printed as a JSON string. So in the code
//! above, the output looks like `Please call "John Doe" at the number "+44
//! 1234567"`. The quotation marks appear because `v["name"]` is a `&Value`
//! containing a JSON string and its JSON representation is `"John Doe"`.
//! Printing as a plain string without quotation marks involves converting from
//! a JSON string to a Rust string with [`as_str()`] or avoiding the use of
//! `Value` as described in the following section.
//!
//! [`as_str()`]: crate::Value::as_str
//!
//! The `Value` representation is sufficient for very basic tasks but can be
//! tedious to work with for anything more significant. Error handling is
//! verbose to implement correctly, for example imagine trying to detect the
//! presence of unrecognized fields in the input data. The compiler is powerless
//! to help you when you make a mistake, for example imagine typoing `v["name"]`
//! as `v["nmae"]` in one of the dozens of places it is used in your code.
//!
//! # Parsing JSON as strongly typed data structures
//!
//! Serde provides a powerful way of mapping JSON data into Rust data structures
//! largely automatically.
//!
//! ```
//! use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
//! use serde_json::Result;
//!
//! #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
//! struct Person {
//! name: String,
//! age: u8,
//! phones: Vec<String>,
//! }
//!
//! fn typed_example() -> Result<()> {
//! // Some JSON input data as a &str. Maybe this comes from the user.
//! let data = r#"
//! {
//! "name": "John Doe",
//! "age": 43,
//! "phones": [
//! "+44 1234567",
//! "+44 2345678"
//! ]
//! }"#;
//!
//! // Parse the string of data into a Person object. This is exactly the
//! // same function as the one that produced serde_json::Value above, but
//! // now we are asking it for a Person as output.
//! let p: Person = serde_json::from_str(data)?;
//!
//! // Do things just like with any other Rust data structure.
//! println!("Please call {} at the number {}", p.name, p.phones[0]);
//!
//! Ok(())
//! }
//! #
//! # fn main() {
//! # typed_example().unwrap();
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! This is the same `serde_json::from_str` function as before, but this time we
//! assign the return value to a variable of type `Person` so Serde will
//! automatically interpret the input data as a `Person` and produce informative
//! error messages if the layout does not conform to what a `Person` is expected
//! to look like.
//!
//! Any type that implements Serde's `Deserialize` trait can be deserialized
//! this way. This includes built-in Rust standard library types like `Vec<T>`
//! and `HashMap<K, V>`, as well as any structs or enums annotated with
//! `#[derive(Deserialize)]`.
//!
//! Once we have `p` of type `Person`, our IDE and the Rust compiler can help us
//! use it correctly like they do for any other Rust code. The IDE can
//! autocomplete field names to prevent typos, which was impossible in the
//! `serde_json::Value` representation. And the Rust compiler can check that
//! when we write `p.phones[0]`, then `p.phones` is guaranteed to be a
//! `Vec<String>` so indexing into it makes sense and produces a `String`.
//!
//! # Constructing JSON values
//!
//! Serde JSON provides a [`json!` macro][macro] to build `serde_json::Value`
//! objects with very natural JSON syntax.
//!
//! ```
//! use serde_json::json;
//!
//! fn main() {
//! // The type of `john` is `serde_json::Value`
//! let john = json!({
//! "name": "John Doe",
//! "age": 43,
//! "phones": [
//! "+44 1234567",
//! "+44 2345678"
//! ]
//! });
//!
//! println!("first phone number: {}", john["phones"][0]);
//!
//! // Convert to a string of JSON and print it out
//! println!("{}", john.to_string());
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The `Value::to_string()` function converts a `serde_json::Value` into a
//! `String` of JSON text.
//!
//! One neat thing about the `json!` macro is that variables and expressions can
//! be interpolated directly into the JSON value as you are building it. Serde
//! will check at compile time that the value you are interpolating is able to
//! be represented as JSON.
//!
//! ```
//! # use serde_json::json;
//! #
//! # fn random_phone() -> u16 { 0 }
//! #
//! let full_name = "John Doe";
//! let age_last_year = 42;
//!
//! // The type of `john` is `serde_json::Value`
//! let john = json!({
//! "name": full_name,
//! "age": age_last_year + 1,
//! "phones": [
//! format!("+44 {}", random_phone())
//! ]
//! });
//! ```
//!
//! This is amazingly convenient, but we have the problem we had before with
//! `Value`: the IDE and Rust compiler cannot help us if we get it wrong. Serde
//! JSON provides a better way of serializing strongly-typed data structures
//! into JSON text.
//!
//! # Creating JSON by serializing data structures
//!
//! A data structure can be converted to a JSON string by
//! [`serde_json::to_string`][to_string]. There is also
//! [`serde_json::to_vec`][to_vec] which serializes to a `Vec<u8>` and
//! [`serde_json::to_writer`][to_writer] which serializes to any `io::Write`
//! such as a File or a TCP stream.
//!
//! ```
//! use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
//! use serde_json::Result;
//!
//! #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
//! struct Address {
//! street: String,
//! city: String,
//! }
//!
//! fn print_an_address() -> Result<()> {
//! // Some data structure.
//! let address = Address {
//! street: "10 Downing Street".to_owned(),
//! city: "London".to_owned(),
//! };
//!
//! // Serialize it to a JSON string.
//! let j = serde_json::to_string(&address)?;
//!
//! // Print, write to a file, or send to an HTTP server.
//! println!("{}", j);
//!
//! Ok(())
//! }
//! #
//! # fn main() {
//! # print_an_address().unwrap();
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! Any type that implements Serde's `Serialize` trait can be serialized this
//! way. This includes built-in Rust standard library types like `Vec<T>` and
//! `HashMap<K, V>`, as well as any structs or enums annotated with
//! `#[derive(Serialize)]`.
//!
//! # No-std support
//!
//! As long as there is a memory allocator, it is possible to use serde_json
//! without the rest of the Rust standard library. Disable the default "std"
//! feature and enable the "alloc" feature:
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! serde_json = { version = "1.0", default-features = false, features = ["alloc"] }
//! ```
//!
//! For JSON support in Serde without a memory allocator, please see the
//! [`serde-json-core`] crate.
