Getty is a framework for building __robust__, __optimal__, and __reusable__ (de)serializers in Zig.

- Compile-time (de)serialization.
- Out-of-the-box support for a variety of `std` types.
- Granular customization for existing and remote types.
- Data models that serve as simple and generic baselines for (de)serializers.

## Quick Start

build.zig


```zig
const std = @import("std");

pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
const target = b.standardTargetOptions(.{});
const optimize = b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});

const opts = .{ .target = target, .optimize = optimize };
const json_mod = b.dependency("json", opts).module("json");

const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
.name = "quick-start",
.root_source_file = .{ .path = "src/main.zig" },
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
});

exe.addModule("json", json_mod);

const run_cmd = b.addRunArtifact(exe);
const run_step = b.step("run", "Run the app");
run_step.dependOn(&run_cmd.step);
}
```

build.zig.zon


```zig
.{
.name = "quick-start",
.version = "0.1.0",
.paths = .{""},
.dependencies = .{
.json = .{
.url = "https://github.com/getty-zig/json/archive/3e3cf7b.tar.gz",
.hash = "122017ccb426b5f5690fdda438134852e940796b0ac619eb2648782a7879146f4fcd",
},
},
}
```

src/main.zig


```zig
const std = @import("std");
const json = @import("json");

const ally = std.heap.page_allocator;

const Point = struct {
x: i32,
y: i32,
};

pub fn main() !void {
const value = Point{ .x = 1, .y = 2 };

// Serialize a Point value into JSON.
const serialized = try json.toSlice(ally, value);
defer ally.free(serialized);

// Deserialize JSON data into a Point value.
const deserialized = try json.fromSlice(ally, Point, serialized);

// Print results.
std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{serialized}); // {"x":1,"y":2}
std.debug.print("{}\n", .{deserialized}); // main.Point{ .x = 1, .y = 2 }
}
```

## Installation

1. Declare Getty as a project dependency with `zig fetch`:

```sh
zig fetch --save git+https://github.com/getty-zig/getty.git#
```

2. Expose Getty as a module in your project's `build.zig`:

```zig
pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
const target = b.standardTargetOptions(.{});
const optimize = b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});

const opts = .{ .target = target, .optimize = optimize }; // 👈
const getty_mod = b.dependency("getty", opts).module("getty"); // 👈

const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
.name = "my-project",
.root_source_file = .{ .path = "src/main.zig" },
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
});
exe.root_module.addImport("getty", getty_mod); // 👈

// ...
}
```

3. Import Getty into your code:

```zig
const getty = @import("getty");
```
