//! The Value enum, a loosely typed way of representing any valid JSON value. //! //! # Constructing JSON //! //! Serde JSON provides a [`json!` macro][macro] to build `serde_json::Value` //! objects with very natural JSON syntax. //! //! ``` //! use serde_json::json; //! //! fn main() { //! // The type of `john` is `serde_json::Value` //! let john = json!({ //! "name": "John Doe", //! "age": 43, //! "phones": [ //! "+44 1234567", //! "+44 2345678" //! ] //! }); //! //! println!("first phone number: {}", john["phones"][0]); //! //! // Convert to a string of JSON and print it out //! println!("{}", john.to_string()); //! } //! ``` //! //! The `Value::to_string()` function converts a `serde_json::Value` into a //! `String` of JSON text. //! //! One neat thing about the `json!` macro is that variables and expressions can //! be interpolated directly into the JSON value as you are building it. Serde //! will check at compile time that the value you are interpolating is able to //! be represented as JSON. //! //! ``` //! # use serde_json::json; //! # //! # fn random_phone() -> u16 { 0 } //! # //! let full_name = "John Doe"; //! let age_last_year = 42; //! //! // The type of `john` is `serde_json::Value` //! let john = json!({ //! "name": full_name, //! "age": age_last_year + 1, //! "phones": [ //! format!("+44 {}", random_phone()) //! ] //! }); //! ``` //! //! A string of JSON data can be parsed into a `serde_json::Value` by the //! [`serde_json::from_str`][from_str] function. There is also //! [`from_slice`][from_slice] for parsing from a byte slice `&[u8]` and //! [`from_reader`][from_reader] for parsing from any `io::Read` like a File or //! a TCP stream. //! //! ``` //! use serde_json::{json, Value, Error}; //! //! fn untyped_example() -> Result<(), Error> { //! // Some JSON input data as a &str. Maybe this comes from the user. //! let data = r#" //! { //! "name": "John Doe", //! "age": 43, //! "phones": [ //! "+44 1234567", //! "+44 2345678" //! ] //! }"#; //! //! // Parse the string of data into serde_json::Value. //! let v: Value = serde_json::from_str(data)?; //! //! // Access parts of the data by indexing with square brackets. //! println!("Please call {} at the number {}", v["name"], v["phones"][0]); //! //! Ok(()) //! } //! # //! # untyped_example().unwrap(); //! ``` //! //! [macro]: https://docs.serde.rs/serde_json/macro.json.html //! [from_str]: https://docs.serde.rs/serde_json/de/fn.from_str.html //!
