Rusty Value

This crate adds a RustyValue trait that can be derived for all types (except unions) to create a generic value that represents a rust value. This can be used to implement serialization of types without having to rely on serde.

Usage

The trait RustyValue allows one to create a rusty_value::Value for any type that implements it. This trait can be derived if the derive feature is enabled.


use rusty_value::RustyValue;

#[derive(RustyValue)]
struct MyStruct {
  foo: String,
  bar: u8,
}

fn main() {
  MyStruct {
    foo: "Hello World".to_string(),
    bar: 12,
  }.into_rusty_value();
}

Converting a type into a rusty value cannot fail as rusty_value::RustyValue is able to represent any safe rust data type. The trait RustyValue is already implemented for most std types and can therefore be easily derived.
