Yet Another Serializer/Deserializer specialized for XML

Goal

This library will support XML de/ser-ializing with all specific features.

Supported types

• Struct
• Vec<AnyType>
• Enum
• Enum with complex types
• Option
• String
• bool
• number (u8, i8, u32, i32, f32, f64)

Attributes

• attribute: this field is defined as an attribute
• default: defines the default function to init the field
• flatten: Flatten the contents of the field
• namespace: defines the namespace of the field
• rename: be able to rename a field
• root: rename the based element. Used only at the XML root.
• skip_serializing: Exclude this field from the serialized output. More details...
• skip_serializing_if: Skip the serialisation for this field if the condition is true. More details...
• text: this field match to the text content

Custom De/Ser-rializer

Any type can define a custom deserializer and/or serializer. To implement it, define the implementation of YaDeserialize/YaSerialize

impl YaDeserialize for MyType {
  fn deserialize<R: Read>(reader: &mut yaserde::de::Deserializer<R>) -> Result<Self, String> {
    // deserializer code
  }
}

impl YaSerialize for MyType {
  fn serialize<W: Write>(&self, writer: &mut yaserde::ser::Serializer<W>) -> Result<(), String> {
    // serializer code
  }
}
