Hands-On Microservices with Rust

Transcoding

Sometimes, you'll be faced with situations in which you need to convert one format to another. In this instance, you can use the serde_transcode crate, which converts one format to another using a standard serde serialization process. The crate has a transcode function that expects a serializer and a deserializer as arguments. You can use it as follows:

let mut deserializer = serde_json::Deserializer::from_reader(reader);
let mut serializer = serde_cbor::Serializer::pretty(writer);
serde_transcode::transcode(&mut deserializer, &mut serializer).unwrap();

This code converts incoming JSON data into CBOR data. You can read more about this crate at: https://crates.io/crates/serde-transcode.
