[![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/bodyparser.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/bodyparser)

> Body parsing plugins for the [Iron](https://github.com/iron/iron) web framework.

## Example

```rust
extern crate iron;
extern crate bodyparser;
extern crate persistent;
#[macro_use]
extern crate serde_derive;

use persistent::Read;
use iron::status;
use iron::prelude::*;

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Deserialize)]
struct MyStructure {
a: String,
b: Option,
}

fn log_body(req: &mut Request) -> IronResult {
let body = req.get::();
match body {
Ok(Some(body)) => println!("Read body:\n{}", body),
Ok(None) => println!("No body"),
Err(err) => println!("Error: {:?}", err)
}

let json_body = req.get::();
match json_body {
Ok(Some(json_body)) => println!("Parsed body:\n{:?}", json_body),
Ok(None) => println!("No body"),
Err(err) => println!("Error: {:?}", err)
}

let struct_body = req.get::>();
match struct_body {
Ok(Some(struct_body)) => println!("Parsed body:\n{:?}", struct_body),
Ok(None) => println!("No body"),
Err(err) => println!("Error: {:?}", err)
}

Ok(Response::with(status::Ok))
}

const MAX_BODY_LENGTH: usize = 1024 * 1024 * 10;

// While the example is running, try the following curl commands and see how they are
// logged by the Rust server process:
//
// `curl -i "localhost:3000/" -H "application/json" -d '{"name":"jason","age":"2"}'`
// `curl -i "localhost:3000/" -H "application/json" -d '{"a":"jason","b":"2"}'`
// `curl -i "localhost:3000/" -H "application/json" -d '{"a":"jason"}'`
fn main() {
let mut chain = Chain::new(log_body);
chain.link_before(Read::::one(MAX_BODY_LENGTH));
Iron::new(chain).http("localhost:3000").unwrap();
}
```

## Overview

body-parser is a part of Iron's [core bundle](https://github.com/iron/core). It contains:

* **Raw** - performs body parsing to string with limiting.
* **Json** - parses body into Json.
* **Struct** - parses body into a struct using Serde.

## Installation

If you're using a `Cargo.toml` to manage dependencies, just add body-parser to the toml:

```toml
[dependencies.bodyparser]

git = "https://github.com/iron/body-parser.git"
```

Otherwise, `cargo build`, and the rlib will be in your `target` directory.

## [Documentation](https://docs.rs/bodyparser/)

Along with the [online documentation](https://docs.rs/bodyparser/),
you can build a local copy with `make doc`.
