Why not impl TryInto<InnerType>
for Value
?
#902
Comments
I agree. Code like let map = match value
.method()
.another_method()
{
serde_json::Value::Object(o) => o,
_ => panic!("expected an object")
}; could be written a lot cleaner like let map: serde_json::Map<_, _> = value
.method()
.another_method()
.try_into()
.expect("expected an object"); By the way, it would be |
Funny how I started implementing it on my own. I would add to that, do impl on the borrow of Value use core::convert::TryInto;
impl TryFrom<&Value> for i64 {
type Error = Error;
fn try_from(value: &Value) -> Result<Self, Self::Error> {
value
.as_i64()
.ok_or(serde::de::Error::custom("Cannot interpret Value as i64"))
}
}
impl<'a> TryFrom<&'a Value> for &'a str {
type Error = Error;
fn try_from(value: &'a Value) -> Result<Self, Self::Error> {
value
.as_str()
.ok_or(serde::de::Error::custom("Cannot interpret Value as &str"))
}
} that would allow you to do: fn get_property<'a, T>(val: &'a Value, name: &str) -> std::result::Result<T, T::Error>
where
T: TryFrom<&'a Value>,
<T as std::convert::TryFrom<&'a Value>>::Error: serde::de::Error,
{
val.as_object()
.ok_or(serde::de::Error::custom("value is not an object"))?
.get(name)
.ok_or(serde::de::Error::custom("no property found"))?
.try_into()
}

fn it_works() {
let j_son = json!({"number": 1, "str": "hello"});
// Don't consume j_son, so I can call it many times
assert_eq!(get_property::<i64>(&j_son, "number").unwrap(), 1);
assert_eq!(get_property::<&str>(&j_son, "str").unwrap(), "hello");

There should be an impl for both |
I also would like to see this. I have an use-case where I want to delay fully deserializing a |
