serde-aux
A Rust library providing helper functions for serde serialization and deserialization of containers, struct fields, and other common patterns.
What is serde-aux?
serde-aux is a Rust utility library that extends the capabilities of the serde serialization framework. It provides helper functions for common serialization and deserialization patterns involving containers, struct fields, and type conversions. The library solves repetitive boilerplate problems when working with serde's powerful but sometimes verbose APIs.
Rust developers who use serde for serialization in applications, libraries, or APIs and want to reduce boilerplate code for common patterns.
Developers choose serde-aux because it offers well-tested, community-vetted solutions for edge cases that serde doesn't handle out-of-the-box, saving development time and reducing potential serialization bugs.
Overview
An auxiliary serde library providing helpful functions for serialisation and deserialisation for containers, struct fields and others.
Use Cases
Best For
- Handling optional fields with custom default values in serde
- Renaming or flattening struct fields during serialization
