# SerdeIO
Tiny IO utility library for Rust to serialize/deserialize Serde compatible structs

# Install

```sh
cargo add serdeio
```

SerdeIO supports JSON and JSON Lines formats. Additional formats are supported by enabling corresponding features.

- `yaml`
- `csv`

# How to use

- `read_record_from_reader` is used to read a deserializable type `T` from `std::io::Read`. Data format must be specified by `DataFormat` enum.
- `read_records_from_reader` always tries to deserialize the data as `Vec`.
- `read_record_from_file` accepts an `AsRef`. Data format is automatically determined by file extension.
- `write_*` functions follow the same rules as `read_*`.

Note that some data format like CSV and JSON Lines support only reading records `Vec`.

# Examples

The following code read a JSON file and parse it as `Vec`. Then it encodes the data into YAML format and write it to STDOUT.

```rust
use anyhow::{anyhow, Context, Result as AnyResult};
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use serdeio::{read_record_from_file, write_records_to_writer, DataFormat};

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, Serialize)]
struct User {
id: u32,
name: String,
items: Vec,
}

pub fn main() -> AnyResult<()> {
// get input file path from argv
let args: Vec = std::env::args().collect();
let input_file_path = &args[1];

// read json file to memory
let users: Vec = read_record_from_file(input_file_path)
.context("Failed to read records from file")?;

// write to stdout in json lines format
let writer = std::io::stdout();
write_records_to_writer(writer, DataFormat::JsonLines, &users).unwrap();

Ok(())
}
```
