# serde\_test   [![Build Status]][actions] [![Latest Version]][crates.io]

[Build Status]: https://img.shields.io/github/actions/workflow/status/serde-rs/test/ci.yml?branch=master
[actions]: https://github.com/serde-rs/test/actions?query=branch%3Amaster
[Latest Version]: https://img.shields.io/crates/v/serde_test.svg

This crate provides a convenient concise way to write unit tests for
implementations of [`Serialize`] and [`Deserialize`].

[`Serialize`]: serde::ser::Serialize
[`Deserialize`]: serde::de::Deserialize

The `Serialize` impl for a value can be characterized by the sequence of
[`Serializer`] calls that are made in the course of serializing the value, so
`serde_test` provides a [`Token`] abstraction which corresponds roughly to
`Serializer` method calls. There is an [`assert_ser_tokens`] function to test
that a value serializes to a particular sequence of method calls, an
[`assert_de_tokens`] function to test that a value can be deserialized from a
particular sequence of method calls, and an [`assert_tokens`] function to test
both directions. There are also functions to test expected failure conditions.

[`Serializer`]: serde::ser::Serializer

Here is an example from the [`linked-hash-map`] crate.

[`linked-hash-map`]: https://github.com/contain-rs/linked-hash-map

```rust
use linked_hash_map::LinkedHashMap;
use serde_test::{assert_tokens, Token};

#[test]
fn test_ser_de_empty() {
    let map = LinkedHashMap::<char, u32>::new();

    assert_tokens(
        &map,
        &[
            Token::Map { len: Some(0) },
            Token::MapEnd,
        ],
    );
}

#[test]
fn test_ser_de() {
    let mut map = LinkedHashMap::new();
    map.insert('b', 20);
    map.insert('a', 10);
    map.insert('c', 30);

    assert_tokens(
        &map,
        &[
            Token::Map { len: Some(3) },
            Token::Char('b'),
            Token::I32(20),
            Token::Char('a'),
            Token::I32(10),
            Token::Char('c'),
            Token::I32(30),
            Token::MapEnd,
        ],
    );
}
```
