Struct serde_json::value::Serializer

pub struct Serializer;

Serializer whose output is a Value.

This is the serializer that backs serde_json::to_value. Unlike the main serde_json serializer which goes from some serializable value of type T to JSON text, this one goes from T to serde_json::Value.

The to_value function is implementable as:

use serde::Serialize;
use serde_json::{Error, Value};

pub fn to_value<T>(input: T) -> Result<Value, Error>
where
    T: Serialize,
{
    input.serialize(serde_json::value::Serializer)
}

Trait Implementations

impl Serializer for Serializer

type Ok = Value

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 = SerializeVec

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

type SerializeTuple = SerializeVec

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

type SerializeTupleStruct = SerializeVec

Type returned from serialize_tuple_struct for serializing the content of the tuple struct.

type SerializeTupleVariant = SerializeTupleVariant

Type returned from serialize_tuple_variant for serializing the content of the tuple variant.

type SerializeMap = SerializeMap

Type returned from serialize_map for serializing the content of the map.

type SerializeStruct = SerializeMap

Type returned from serialize_struct for serializing the content of the struct.

Type returned from serialize_struct_variant for serializing the content of the struct variant.
