Struct Deserializer

pub struct Deserializer<'de> { /* private fields */ }

A structure that deserializes YAML into Rust values.

Examples

Deserializing a single document:

use anyhow::Result;
use serde::Deserialize;
use serde_yml::Value;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let input = "k: 107\n";
    let de = serde_yml::Deserializer::from_str(input);
    let value = Value::deserialize(de)?;
    println!("{:?}", value);
    Ok(())
}

Deserializing multi-doc YAML:

use anyhow::Result;
use serde::Deserialize;
use serde_yml::Value;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let input = "---\nk: 107\n...\n---\nj: 106\n";

    for document in serde_yml::Deserializer::from_str(input) {
        let value = Value::deserialize(document)?;
        println!("{:?}", value);
    }

    Ok(())
}

Implementations

impl<'de> Deserializer<'de>

pub fn from_str(s: &'de str) -> Self

Deserializes an instance of type T from a string of YAML text.

This function takes a string slice containing YAML data and attempts to parse and deserialize it into an instance of the type T. The type must implement the Deserialize trait from Serde. The function returns a result, which is either the deserialized type T or an error if the deserialization process fails.

Errors

This function returns an error if the YAML text does not correctly represent the expected type T. Errors can arise from incorrect YAML syntax, type mismatches, missing required fields, and other deserialization issues.

Examples

use serde_yml::from_str;
use serde::Deserialize;

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
struct Config {
    name: String,
    age: u32,
}

let yaml_data = r#"
name: John Doe
age: 30
"#;
let config: Config = from_str(yaml_data).unwrap();
println!("{:?}", config); // Config { name: "John Doe", age: 30 }

pub fn from_slice(v: &'de [u8]) -> Self

Deserializes an instance of type T from bytes of YAML text.

Similar to from_str, but instead of a string slice, it operates on a byte slice. This is useful when working with binary data or data read from non-text sources.

Errors

Returns an error if the byte slice does not represent a valid YAML sequence or if it cannot be deserialized into type T due to type mismatches, missing fields, etc.

Examples

use serde_yml::from_slice;
use serde::Deserialize;

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
struct Item {
    name: String,
    quantity: u32,
}

let bytes = b"name: Widget\nquantity: 100";
let item: Item = from_slice(bytes).unwrap();
println!("{:?}", item); // Item { name: "Widget", quantity: 100 }

pub fn from_reader<R>(rdr: R) -> Self

where R: Read + 'de,

Deserializes an instance of type T from an IO stream of YAML.

This function is useful when you need to deserialize data directly from a stream, such as reading from a file or over the network. It accepts any type that implements the io::Read trait. As with from_str, the target type T must implement the Deserialize trait.

Errors

Deserialization might fail due to IO errors (e.g., if the stream is not readable), YAML syntax errors, or if the data does not fit the expected structure of type T. In such cases, the function returns an error.

Examples

use serde_yml::from_reader;
use serde::Deserialize;
use std::io::Cursor;

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
struct Config {
    name: String,
    age: u32,
}

// Simulate file reading with a cursor over a byte slice.
let data = b"name: Jane Doe\nage: 25";
let cursor = Cursor::new(data);

let config: Config = from_reader(cursor).unwrap();
println!("{:?}", config); // Config { name: "Jane Doe", age: 25 }
