Parses and serializes the JSON dependency tree embedded in executables by the [`cargo auditable`](https://github.com/rust-secure-code/cargo-auditable). This crate defines the data structures that a serialized to/from JSON and implements the serialization/deserialization routines via `serde`. The [`VersionInfo`] struct is where all the magic happens, see the docs on it for more info. ## Basic usage **Note:** this is a low-level crate that only implements JSON parsing. It rarely should be used directly. You probably want the higher-level [`auditable-info`](https://docs.rs/auditable-info) crate instead. The following snippet demonstrates full extraction pipeline using this crate, including platform-specific executable handling via [`auditable-extract`](http://docs.rs/auditable-serde/) and decompression using the safe-Rust [`miniz_oxide`](http://docs.rs/miniz_oxide/): ```rust,ignore use std::io::{Read, BufReader}; use std::{error::Error, fs::File, str::FromStr}; fn main() -> Result<(), Box> { // Read the input let f = File::open("target/release/hello-world")?; let mut f = BufReader::new(f); let mut input_binary = Vec::new(); f.read_to_end(&mut input_binary)?; // Extract the compressed audit data let compressed_audit_data = auditable_extract::raw_auditable_data(&input_binary)?; // Decompress it with your Zlib implementation of choice. We recommend miniz_oxide use miniz_oxide::inflate::decompress_to_vec_zlib; let decompressed_data = decompress_to_vec_zlib(&compressed_audit_data) .map_err(|_| "Failed to decompress audit data")?; let decompressed_data = String::from_utf8(decompressed_data)?; println!("{}", decompressed_data); // Parse the audit data to Rust data structures let dependency_tree = auditable_serde::VersionInfo::from_str(&decompressed_data); Ok(()) } ```
