# # # Nim's Runtime Library # (c) Copyright 2015 Andreas Rumpf # # See the file "copying.txt", included in this # distribution, for details about the copyright. # ## This module contains procs for `serialization`:idx: and `deserialization`:idx: ## of arbitrary Nim data structures. The serialization format uses `JSON`:idx:. ## ## **Restriction:** For objects, their type is **not** serialized. This means ## essentially that it does not work if the object has some other runtime ## type than its compiletime type. ## ## ## Basic usage ## =========== ## runnableExamples: type A = object of RootObj B = object of A f: int let a: ref A = new(B) assert $$a[] == "{}" # not "{f: 0}" # unmarshal let c = to[B]("""{"f": 2}""") assert typeof(c) is B assert c.f == 2 # marshal assert $$c == """{"f": 2}""" ## **Note:** The `to` and `$$` operations are available at compile-time! ## ## ## See also ## ======== ## * `streams module `_ ## * `json module `_ const unsupportedPlatform = when defined(js): "javascript" elif defined(nimscript): "nimscript" else: "" when unsupportedPlatform != "": {.error: "marshal module is not supported in " & unsupportedPlatform & """. Please use alternative packages for serialization. It is possible to reimplement this module using generics and type traits.
