<p>JSON is a ubiquitous open-standard format that uses human-readable text to
transmit data objects consisting of key-value pairs.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="language-json"><code>{
&quot;name&quot;: &quot;John Doe&quot;,
&quot;age&quot;: 43,
&quot;address&quot;: {
&quot;street&quot;: &quot;10 Downing Street&quot;,
&quot;city&quot;: &quot;London&quot;
},
&quot;phones&quot;: [
&quot;+44 1234567&quot;,
&quot;+44 2345678&quot;
]
}
</code></pre></div>
<p>There are three common ways that you might find yourself needing to work
with JSON data in Rust.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>As text data.</strong> 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.</li>
<li><strong>As an untyped or loosely typed representation.</strong> 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.</li>
<li><strong>As a strongly typed Rust data structure.</strong> When you expect all or most
of your data to conform to a particular structure and want to get real
work done without JSONs loosey-goosey nature tripping you up.</li>
</ul>
<p>Serde JSON provides efficient, flexible, safe ways of converting data
between each of these representations.</p>
<h2 id="operating-on-untyped-json-values"><a href="#operating-on-untyped-json-values">Operating on untyped JSON values</a></h2>
<p>Any valid JSON data can be manipulated in the following recursive enum
representation. This data structure is <a href="enum.Value.html" title="enum serde_json::Value"><code>serde_json::Value</code></a>.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">enum </span>Value {
Null,
Bool(bool),
Number(Number),
String(String),
Array(Vec&lt;Value&gt;),
Object(Map&lt;String, Value&gt;),
}</code></pre></div>
<p>A string of JSON data can be parsed into a <code>serde_json::Value</code> by the
<a href="fn.from_str.html" title="fn serde_json::from_str"><code>serde_json::from_str</code></a> function. There is also <a href="fn.from_slice.html" title="fn serde_json::from_slice"><code>from_slice</code></a>
for parsing from a byte slice &amp;[u8] and <a href="fn.from_reader.html" title="fn serde_json::from_reader"><code>from_reader</code></a> for parsing from
any <code>io::Read</code> like a File or a TCP stream.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">use </span>serde_json::{<span class="prelude-ty">Result</span>, Value};
<span class="kw">fn </span>untyped_example() -&gt; <span class="prelude-ty">Result</span>&lt;()&gt; {
<span class="comment">// Some JSON input data as a &amp;str. Maybe this comes from the user.
</span><span class="kw">let </span>data = <span class="string">r#"
{
"name": "John Doe",
"age": 43,
"phones": [
"+44 1234567",
"+44 2345678"
]
}"#</span>;
<span class="comment">// Parse the string of data into serde_json::Value.
</span><span class="kw">let </span>v: Value = serde_json::from_str(data)<span class="question-mark">?</span>;
<span class="comment">// Access parts of the data by indexing with square brackets.
</span><span class="macro">println!</span>(<span class="string">"Please call {} at the number {}"</span>, v[<span class="string">"name"</span>], v[<span class="string">"phones"</span>][<span class="number">0</span>]);
<span class="prelude-val">Ok</span>(())
}</code></pre></div>
<p>The result of square bracket indexing like <code>v[&quot;name&quot;]</code> is a borrow of the
data at that index, so the type is <code>&amp;Value</code>. 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 <code>Value::Null</code>.</p>
<p>When a <code>Value</code> is printed, it is printed as a JSON string. So in the code
above, the output looks like <code>Please call &quot;John Doe&quot; at the number &quot;+44 1234567&quot;</code>. The quotation marks appear because <code>v[&quot;name&quot;]</code> is a <code>&amp;Value</code>
containing a JSON string and its JSON representation is <code>&quot;John Doe&quot;</code>.
Printing as a plain string without quotation marks involves converting from
a JSON string to a Rust string with <a href="enum.Value.html#method.as_str" title="method serde_json::Value::as_str"><code>as_str()</code></a> or avoiding the use of
<code>Value</code> as described in the following section.</p>
<p>The <code>Value</code> 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 <code>v[&quot;name&quot;]</code>
as <code>v[&quot;nmae&quot;]</code> in one of the dozens of places it is used in your code.</p>
<h2 id="parsing-json-as-strongly-typed-data-structures"><a href="#parsing-json-as-strongly-typed-data-structures">Parsing JSON as strongly typed data structures</a></h2>
<p>Serde provides a powerful way of mapping JSON data into Rust data structures
largely automatically.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">use </span>serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
<span class="kw">use </span>serde_json::Result;
<span class="attr">#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
</span><span class="kw">struct </span>Person {
name: String,
age: u8,
phones: Vec&lt;String&gt;,
}
<span class="kw">fn </span>typed_example() -&gt; <span class="prelude-ty">Result</span>&lt;()&gt; {
<span class="comment">// Some JSON input data as a &amp;str. Maybe this comes from the user.
</span><span class="kw">let </span>data = <span class="string">r#"
{
"name": "John Doe",
"age": 43,
"phones": [
"+44 1234567",
"+44 2345678"
]
}"#</span>;
<span class="comment">// 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.
</span><span class="kw">let </span>p: Person = serde_json::from_str(data)<span class="question-mark">?</span>;
<span class="comment">// Do things just like with any other Rust data structure.
</span><span class="macro">println!</span>(<span class="string">"Please call {} at the number {}"</span>, p.name, p.phones[<span class="number">0</span>]);
<span class="prelude-val">Ok</span>(())
}</code></pre></div>
<p>This is the same <code>serde_json::from_str</code> function as before, but this time we
assign the return value to a variable of type <code>Person</code> so Serde will
automatically interpret the input data as a <code>Person</code> and produce informative
error messages if the layout does not conform to what a <code>Person</code> is expected
to look like.</p>
<p>Any type that implements Serdes <code>Deserialize</code> trait can be deserialized
this way. This includes built-in Rust standard library types like <code>Vec&lt;T&gt;</code>
and <code>HashMap&lt;K, V&gt;</code>, as well as any structs or enums annotated with
<code>#[derive(Deserialize)]</code>.</p>
<p>Once we have <code>p</code> of type <code>Person</code>, 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
<code>serde_json::Value</code> representation. And the Rust compiler can check that
when we write <code>p.phones[0]</code>, then <code>p.phones</code> is guaranteed to be a
<code>Vec&lt;String&gt;</code> so indexing into it makes sense and produces a <code>String</code>.</p>
<h2 id="constructing-json-values"><a href="#constructing-json-values">Constructing JSON values</a></h2>
<p>Serde JSON provides a <a href="macro.json.html" title="macro serde_json::json"><code>json!</code> macro</a> to build <code>serde_json::Value</code>
objects with very natural JSON syntax.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">use </span>serde_json::json;
<span class="kw">fn </span>main() {
<span class="comment">// The type of `john` is `serde_json::Value`
</span><span class="kw">let </span>john = <span class="macro">json!</span>({
<span class="string">"name"</span>: <span class="string">"John Doe"</span>,
<span class="string">"age"</span>: <span class="number">43</span>,
<span class="string">"phones"</span>: [
<span class="string">"+44 1234567"</span>,
<span class="string">"+44 2345678"
</span>]
});
<span class="macro">println!</span>(<span class="string">"first phone number: {}"</span>, john[<span class="string">"phones"</span>][<span class="number">0</span>]);
<span class="comment">// Convert to a string of JSON and print it out
</span><span class="macro">println!</span>(<span class="string">"{}"</span>, john.to_string());
}</code></pre></div>
<p>The <code>Value::to_string()</code> function converts a <code>serde_json::Value</code> into a
<code>String</code> of JSON text.</p>
<p>One neat thing about the <code>json!</code> 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.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">let </span>full_name = <span class="string">"John Doe"</span>;
<span class="kw">let </span>age_last_year = <span class="number">42</span>;
<span class="comment">// The type of `john` is `serde_json::Value`
</span><span class="kw">let </span>john = <span class="macro">json!</span>({
<span class="string">"name"</span>: full_name,
<span class="string">"age"</span>: age_last_year + <span class="number">1</span>,
<span class="string">"phones"</span>: [
<span class="macro">format!</span>(<span class="string">"+44 {}"</span>, random_phone())
]
});</code></pre></div>
<p>This is amazingly convenient, but we have the problem we had before with
<code>Value</code>: 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.</p>
<h2 id="creating-json-by-serializing-data-structures"><a href="#creating-json-by-serializing-data-structures">Creating JSON by serializing data structures</a></h2>
<p>A data structure can be converted to a JSON string by
<a href="fn.to_string.html" title="fn serde_json::to_string"><code>serde_json::to_string</code></a>. There is also
<a href="fn.to_vec.html" title="fn serde_json::to_vec"><code>serde_json::to_vec</code></a> which serializes to a <code>Vec&lt;u8&gt;</code> and
<a href="fn.to_writer.html" title="fn serde_json::to_writer"><code>serde_json::to_writer</code></a> which serializes to any <code>io::Write</code>
such as a File or a TCP stream.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">use </span>serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};

<p>Any type that implements Serdes <code>Serialize</code> trait can be serialized this
way. This includes built-in Rust standard library types like <code>Vec&lt;T&gt;</code> and

<code>#[derive(Serialize)]</code>.</p>
<h2 id="no-std-support"><a href="#no-std-support">No-std support</a></h2>
<p>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:</p>
