Module ketos::value_encode

Implements encoding Rust values into Value instances.

Encoding and decoding is performed using the Serialize/Deserialize traits of the serde crate.

struct values are encoded as a list of two elements: the struct name followed by a series of fields. Tuple structs contain an ordered list of values, while traditional structs contain a list of inline :key value pairs.

For example, given a struct definition such as:

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, Serialize)]
struct MyStruct {
    a: i32,
    b: Vec<i32>,
}

The value MyStruct{a: 1, b: vec![2, 3, 4]} would be encoded as (MyStruct (:a 1 :b (2 3 4))).

Similarly, enum values are encoded as a list of three elements: the enum name, the variant name, and a list of any values contained in the variant.
