9 //! The Value enum, a loosely typed way of representing any valid JSON value.
11 //! # Constructing JSON
13 //! Serde JSON provides a [`json!` macro][macro] to build `serde_json::Value`
14 //! objects with very natural JSON syntax. In order to use this macro,
15 //! `serde_json` needs to be imported with the `#[macro_use]` attribute.
19 //! extern crate serde_json;
22 //! // The type of `john` is `serde_json::Value`
23 //! let john = json!({
24 //! "name": "John Doe",
32 //! println!("first phone number: {}", john["phones"][0]);
34 //! // Convert to a string of JSON and print it out
35 //! println!("{}", john.to_string());
39 //! The `Value::to_string()` function converts a `serde_json::Value` into a
40 //! `String` of JSON text.
42 //! One neat thing about the `json!` macro is that variables and expressions can
43 //! be interpolated directly into the JSON value as you are building it. Serde
44 //! will check at compile time that the value you are interpolating is able to
45 //! be represented as JSON.
49 //! # extern crate serde_json;
51 //! # fn random_phone() -> u16 { 0 }
54 //! let full_name = "John Doe";
55 //! let age_last_year = 42;
57 //! // The type of `john` is `serde_json::Value`
58 //! let john = json!({
59 //! "name": full_name,
60 //! "age": age_last_year + 1,
62 //! format!("+44 {}", random_phone())
69 //! A string of JSON data can be parsed into a `serde_json::Value` by the
70 //! [`serde_json::from_str`][from_str] function. There is also
71 //! [`from_slice`][from_slice] for parsing from a byte slice &[u8] and
72 //! [`from_reader`][from_reader] for parsing from any `io::Read` like a File or
76 //! extern crate serde_json;
78 //! use serde_json::{Value, Error};
80 //! fn untyped_example() -> Result<(), Error> {
81 //! // Some JSON input data as a &str. Maybe this comes from the user.
83 //! "name": "John Doe",
91 //! // Parse the string of data into serde_json::Value.
92 //! let v: Value = serde_json::from_str(data)?;
94 //! // Access parts of the data by indexing with square brackets.
95 //! println!("Please call {} at the number {}", v["name"], v["phones"][0]);
101 //! # untyped_example().unwrap();
