Struct ValueSerializer

#[non_exhaustive]
pub struct ValueSerializer<'d> { /* private fields */ }

Serialization for TOML values.

This structure implements serialization support for TOML to serialize an arbitrary type to TOML. Note that the TOML format does not support all datatypes in Rust, such as enums, tuples, and tuple structs. These types will generate an error when serialized.

Currently a serializer always writes its output to an in-memory String, which is passed in when creating the serializer itself.

Examples

use serde::Serialize;

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct Config {
    database: Database,
}

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct Database {
    ip: String,
    port: Vec<u16>,
    connection_max: u32,
    enabled: bool,
}

let config = Config {
    database: Database {
        ip: "192.168.1.1".to_string(),
        port: vec![8001, 8002, 8003],
        connection_max: 5000,
        enabled: false,
    },
};

let mut value = String::new();
serde::Serialize::serialize(
    &config,
    toml::ser::ValueSerializer::new(&mut value)
).unwrap();
println!("{}", value)

Implementations

impl<'d> ValueSerializer<'d>

pub fn new(dst: &'d mut String) -> Self

Creates a new serializer which will emit TOML into the buffer provided.

The serializer can then be used to serialize a type after which the data will be present in dst.

Trait Implementations

impl<'d> Serializer for ValueSerializer<'d>

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.

type SerializeSeq = SerializeValueArray<'d>

Type returned from serialize_seq for serializing the content of the sequence.

type SerializeTuple = SerializeValueArray<'d>

Type returned from serialize_tuple for serializing the content of the tuple.
