<!-- Serde readme rendered on crates.io -->**Serde is a framework for *ser*ializing and *de*serializing Rust data structures efficiently and generically.**---You may be looking for:- [An overview of Serde](https://serde.rs)- [Data formats supported by Serde](https://serde.rs/#data-formats)- [Setting up `#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]`](https://serde.rs/derive.html)- [Examples](https://serde.rs/examples.html)- [API documentation](https://docs.rs/serde)- [Release notes](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde/releases)## Serde in action```rustuse serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug)]struct Point {    x: i32,    y: i32,}fn main() {    let point = Point { x: 1, y: 2 };    // Convert the Point to a JSON string.    let serialized = serde_json::to_string(&point).unwrap();    // Prints serialized = {"x":1,"y":2}    println!("serialized = {}", serialized);    // Convert the JSON string back to a Point.    let deserialized: Point = serde_json::from_str(&serialized).unwrap();    // Prints deserialized = Point { x: 1, y: 2 }    println!("deserialized = {:?}", deserialized);}```## Getting helpSerde is one of the most widely used Rust libraries so any place that Rustaceanscongregate will be able to help you out.

Forasynchronous, consider the [\[rust\] tag on StackOverflow][stackoverflow], the[/r/rust] subreddit which has a pinned weekly easy questions post, or the Rust[Discourse forum][discourse]. It's acceptable to file a support issue in thisrepo but they tend not to get as many eyes as any of the above and may getclosed without a response after some time.[#rust-questions]: https://discord.com/channels/273534239310479360/274215136414400513[#rust-beginners]: https://discord.com/channels/273534239310479360/273541522815713281[#rust-usage]: https://discord.com/channels/442252698964721669/443150878111694848[#beginners]: https://discord.com/channels/442252698964721669/448238009733742612[zulip]: https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/122651-general[stackoverflow]: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/rust[/r/rust]: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust[discourse]: https://users.rust-lang.org
