<!-- Serde readme rendered on crates.io -->
**Serde is a framework for *ser*ializing and *de*serializing Rust data structures efficiently and generically.**
---
You may be looking for:
- [An overview of Serde](https://serde.rs/)
- [Data formats supported by Serde](https://serde.rs/#data-formats)
- [Setting up `#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]`](https://serde.rs/derive.html)
- [Examples](https://serde.rs/examples.html)
- [API documentation](https://docs.serde.rs/serde/)
- [Release notes](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde/releases)
## Serde in action
```rust
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug)]
struct Point {
x: i32,
y: i32,
}
fn main() {
let point = Point { x: 1, y: 2 };
// Convert the Point to a JSON string.
let serialized = serde_json::to_string(&point).unwrap();
// Prints serialized = {"x":1,"y":2}
println!("serialized = {}", serialized);
// Convert the JSON string back to a Point.
let deserialized: Point = serde_json::from_str(&serialized).unwrap();
// Prints deserialized = Point { x: 1, y: 2 }
println!("deserialized = {:?}", deserialized);
}
```
## Getting help
Serde developers live in the #serde channel on [`irc.mozilla.org`][irc]. The
\#rust channel is also a good resource with generally faster response time but
less specific knowledge about Serde. If IRC is not your thing or you don't get a
good response, we are happy to respond to [GitHub issues][issues] as well.
