Deriving Deserialize on Structs as Arrays
2022-12-16
Was watching Decrusted: Serde and found out when you derive #[serde(Deserialize, Serialize)]
it can be to an array as opposed to a mapping of some key:value.
This is especially helpful as I've got some little automations which query Fastmail via jmap which heavily utilizes arrays for defining what query to run.
i.e.
#[derive(serde::Deserialize, serde::Serialize)]
struct RGB {
r: u64,
g: u64,
b: u64
}
can correctly deserialize [12,222,55]
into a Rust struct with named fields!
