Function to_value

pub fn to_value<T>(value: &T) -> Result<Value>
where
    T: ?Sized + Serialize,

Convert a T into sonic_rs::Value which can represent any valid JSON data.

Example

use serde::Serialize;
use sonic_rs::{json, to_value, Value};

#[derive(Serialize, Debug)]
struct User {
    string: String,
    number: i32,
    array: Vec<String>,
}

 let user = User{
     string: "hello".into(),
     number: 123,
     array: vec!["a".into(), "b".into(), "c".into()],
 };
 let got: Value = sonic_rs::to_value(&user).unwrap();
 let expect = json!({
     "string": "hello",
     "number": 123,
     "array": ["a", "b", "c"],
 });
 assert_eq!(got, expect);

Errors

This conversion can fail if T’s implementation of Serialize decides to fail, or if T contains a map with non-string keys.

use std::collections::BTreeMap;

use sonic_rs::to_value;

// The keys in this map are vectors, not strings.
let mut map = BTreeMap::new();
map.insert(vec![32, 64], "x86");
let err = to_value(&map).unwrap_err().to_string();
assert!(err.contains("Expected the key to be string/bool/number when serializing map"));
