Struct FromInto 

pub struct FromInto<T>(/* private fields */);

Serialize value by converting to/from a proxy type with serde support.

This adapter serializes a type O by converting it into a second type T and serializing T. Deserializing works analogue, by deserializing a T and then converting into O.

struct S {
    #[serde_as(as = "FromInto<T>")]
    value: O,
}

For serialization O needs to be O: Into<T> + Clone. For deserialization the opposite T: Into<O> is required. The Clone bound is required since serialize operates on a reference but Into implementations on references are uncommon.

Note: TryFromInto is the more generalized version of this adapter which uses the TryInto trait instead.

Example

#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq)]
struct Rgb {
    red: u8,
    green: u8,
    blue: u8,
}

impl From<(u8, u8, u8)> for Rgb { ... }
impl From<Rgb> for (u8, u8, u8) { ... }

#[serde_as]
#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize)]
struct Color {
    #[serde_as(as = "FromInto<(u8, u8, u8)>")]
    rgb: Rgb,
}
let color = Color {
    rgb: Rgb {
        red: 128,
        green: 64,
        blue: 32,
    },
};

// Define our expected JSON form
let j = json!({
    "rgb": [128, 64, 32],
});
// Ensure serialization and deserialization produce the expected results
assert_eq!(j, serde_json::to_value(&color).unwrap());
assert_eq!(color, serde_json::from_value(j).unwrap());

where S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

Layout

Note: Most layout information is completely unstable and may even differ between compilations. The only exception is types with certain repr(...) attributes. Please see the Rust Reference's “Type Layout” chapter for details on type layout guarantees.
