Rust: Convert a data structure into a JSON string
Mar 24, 2022
We've already done most of the heavy-lifting for turning a structure into JSON:
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};use serde_json;#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]struct Person {first_name: String,last_name: String,age: u8,}fn main() {let first_name = String::from("Glenn");let last_name = String::from("Gillen");let age = 40;let p = Person{ first_name, last_name, age };let data = serde_json::to_string(&p).expect("Not a serializable type");println!("{}", data)}
Instantiate an instance of our Person
, parse it into the serde via calling to_string
. Done.
Hi, I'm Glenn! 👋 I've spent most of my career working with or at startups. I'm currently the Director of Product @ Ockam where I'm helping developers build applications and systems that are secure-by-design. It's time we started securely connecting apps, not networks.
Previously I led the Terraform product team @ HashiCorp, where we launched Terraform Cloud and set the stage for a successful IPO. Prior to that I was part of the Startup Team @ AWS, and earlier still an early employee @ Heroku. I've also invested in a couple of dozen early stage startups.
