Serialization Example
To access the ziggy module, simply add top-level import
const ziggy = @import("ziggy");
Serializing
Take a variable you would want to serialize, let’s call it foo
ziggy
includes a function called stringify
, you call the function with the variable you want to serialize, configure the serializer and give it any kind of writer that implements std.io.Writer
type
In our case we will serialize our variable into a string using ArrayList(u8)
Make sure you also have an allocator
ready
var output_buffer = std.ArrayList(u8).init(allocator);
defer output_buffer.deinit();
try ziggy.stringify(foo, .{}, output_buffer.writer());
The function can fail, either catch
the error or try
and let it return the error further
The second parameter of the function can be used to configure the Serializer using StringifyOptions
To get our result, simply read from output_buffer.items
std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{output_buffer.items});
