Struct quick_xml::se::Serializer

pub struct Serializer<'w, 'r, W: Write> { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate feature serialize only.

A Serializer

Implementations

impl<'w, 'r, W: Write> Serializer<'w, 'r, W>

pub fn new(writer: &'w mut W) -> Self

Creates a new Serializer that uses struct name as a root tag name.

Note, that attempt to serialize a non-struct (including unit structs and newtype structs) will end up to an error. Use with_root to create serializer with explicitly defined root element name

pub fn with_root( writer: &'w mut W, root_tag: Option<&'r str> ) -> Result<Self, DeError>

Creates a new Serializer that uses specified root tag name. name should be valid XML name, otherwise error is returned.

Examples

When serializing a primitive type, only its representation will be written:

let mut buffer = String::new();
let ser = Serializer::with_root(&mut buffer, Some("root")).unwrap();

"node".serialize(ser).unwrap();
assert_eq!(buffer, "<root>node</root>");

When serializing a struct, newtype struct, unit struct or tuple root_tag is used as tag name of root(s) element(s):

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Serialize)]
struct Struct {
    question: String,
    answer: u32,
}

let mut buffer = String::new();
let ser = Serializer::with_root(&mut buffer, Some("root")).unwrap();

let data = Struct {
    question: "The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything".into(),
    answer: 42,
};

data.serialize(ser).unwrap();
assert_eq!(
    buffer,
    "<root>\
        <question>The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything</question>\
        <answer>42</answer>\
     </root>"
);

pub fn expand_empty_elements(&mut self, expand: bool) -> &mut Self

Enable or disable expansion of empty elements. Defaults to false.

Examples

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Serialize)]
struct Struct {
    question: Option<String>,
}

let mut buffer = String::new();
let mut ser = Serializer::new(&mut buffer);
ser.expand_empty_elements(true);

let data = Struct {
  question: None,
};

data.serialize(ser).unwrap();
assert_eq!(
    buffer,
    "<Struct><question></question></Struct>"
);

pub fn indent(&mut self, indent_char: char, indent_size: usize) -> &mut Self

Configure indent for a serializer

Trait Implementations

impl<'w, 'r, W: Write> Serializer for Serializer<'w, 'r, W>

type Ok = ()

The output type produced by this Serializer during successful serialization. Most serializers that produce text or binary output should set Ok = () and serialize into an io::Write or buffer contained within the Serializer instance. Serializers that build in-memory data structures may be simplified by using Ok to propagate the data structure around.

type Error = DeError

The error type when some error occurs during serialization.

type SerializeSeq = ElementSerializer<'w, 'r, W>

Type returned from serialize_seq for serializing the content of the sequence.

type SerializeTuple = ElementSerializer<'w, 'r, W>

Type returned from serialize_tuple for serializing the content of the tuple.

type SerializeTupleStruct = ElementSerializer<'w, 'r, W>

Type returned from serialize_tuple_struct for serializing the content of the tuple struct.

Type returned from serialize_struct for serializing the content of the struct.
