mason-rs: MASON implementation for rust

This is a rust implementation of MASON, a JSON-like object notation.

API

MASON data can be deserialized to a Rust data structure using

pub fn from_reader<'de, T, R>(reader: R) -> Result<T>
where
    T: Deserialize<'de>,
    R: Read + 'de;

There are also two alternate functions for common use cases:

pub fn from_slice<'de, T: Deserialize<'de>>(bytes: &'de [u8]) -> Result<T>;

pub fn from_str<'de, T: Deserialize<'de>>(string: &'de str) -> Result<T>;

A Rust data structure can be serialized to MASON using

pub fn to_writer<T: Serialize, W: Write>(value: &T, writer: &mut W) -> Result<()>;

See the documentation for more info.

Running tests

To run tests, run cargo test or make check. This will download the MASON test suite and run it against this implementation.
