Struct serde_json::de::Deserializer

pub struct Deserializer<R> { /* private fields */ }

A structure that deserializes JSON into Rust values.

Implementations

impl<'de, R> Deserializer<R>where R: Read<'de>,

pub fn new(read: R) -> Self

Create a JSON deserializer from one of the possible serde_json input sources.

Typically it is more convenient to use one of these methods instead:

• Deserializer::from_str
• Deserializer::from_slice
• Deserializer::from_reader

impl<R> Deserializer<IoRead<R>>where R: Read,

pub fn from_reader(reader: R) -> Self

Creates a JSON deserializer from an io::Read.

Reader-based deserializers do not support deserializing borrowed types like &str, since the std::io::Read trait has no non-copying methods – everything it does involves copying bytes out of the data source.

impl<'a> Deserializer<SliceRead<'a>>

pub fn from_slice(bytes: &'a [u8]) -> Self

Creates a JSON deserializer from a &[u8].

impl<'a> Deserializer<StrRead<'a>>

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

Creates a JSON deserializer from a &str.

impl<'de, R: Read<'de>> Deserializer<R>

pub fn end(&mut self) -> Result<()>

The Deserializer::end method should be called after a value has been fully deserialized. This allows the Deserializer to validate that the input stream is at the end or that it only has trailing whitespace.

pub fn into_iter<T>(self) -> StreamDeserializer<'de, R, T> where T: Deserialize<'de>,

Turn a JSON deserializer into an iterator over values of type T.

Trait Implementations

impl<'de, 'a, R: Read<'de>> Deserializer<'de> for &'a mut Deserializer<R>

fn deserialize_bytes<V>(self, visitor: V) -> Result<V::Value>where V: Visitor<'de>,

Parses a JSON string as bytes. Note that this function does not check whether the bytes represent a valid UTF-8 string.

The relevant part of the JSON specification is Section 8.2 of RFC 7159:

When all the strings represented in a JSON text are composed entirely of Unicode characters (however escaped), then that JSON text is interoperable in the sense that all software implementations that parse it will agree on the contents of names and of string values in objects and arrays.

However, the ABNF in this specification allows member names and string values to contain bit sequences that cannot encode Unicode characters; for example, “\uDEAD” (a single unpaired UTF-16 surrogate). Instances of this have been observed, for example, when a library truncates a UTF-16 string without checking whether the truncation split a surrogate pair. The behavior of software that receives JSON texts containing such values is unpredictable; for example, implementations might return different values for the length of a string value or even suffer fatal runtime exceptions.

The behavior of serde_json is specified to fail on non-UTF-8 strings when deserializing into Rust UTF-8 string types such as String, and succeed with non-UTF-8 bytes when deserializing using this method.

Escape sequences are processed as usual, and for \uXXXX escapes it is still checked if the hex number represents a valid Unicode code point.

Examples

You can use this to parse JSON strings containing invalid UTF-8 bytes, or unpaired surrogates.

use serde_bytes::ByteBuf;

fn look_at_bytes() -> Result<(), serde_json::Error> {
    let json_data = b"\"some bytes: \xe5\x00\xe5\"";
    let bytes: ByteBuf = serde_json::from_slice(json_data)?;

    assert_eq!(b'\xe5', bytes[12]);
    assert_eq!(b'\0', bytes[13]);
    assert_eq!(b'\xe5', bytes[14]);

    Ok(())
}

Backslash escape sequences like \n are still interpreted and required to be valid. \u escape sequences are required to represent a valid Unicode code point or lone surrogate.

use serde_bytes::ByteBuf;

fn look_at_bytes() -> Result<(), serde_json::Error> {
    let json_data = b"\"lone surrogate: \\uD801\"";
    let bytes: ByteBuf = serde_json::from_slice(json_data)?;
    let expected = b"lone surrogate: \xED\xA0\x81";
    assert_eq!(expected, bytes.as_slice());
    Ok(())
}

fn deserialize_option<V>(self, visitor: V) -> Result<V::Value>where V: Visitor<'de>,

Parses a null as a None, and any other values as a Some(...).

fn deserialize_enum<V>( self, _name: &str, _variants: &'static [&'static str], visitor: V ) -> Result<V::Value>where V: Visitor<'de>,
