Struct quick_xml::se::Serializer

pub struct Serializer<'r, W: Write> { /* fields omitted */ }

A Serializer

Implementations

impl<'r, W: Write> Serializer<'r, W>

pub fn new(writer: W) -> Self

Creates a new Serializer that uses struct name as a root tag name.

Note, that attempt to serialize a non-struct (including unit structs and newtype structs) will end up to an error. Use with_root to create serializer with explicitly defined root element name

pub fn with_root(writer: Writer<W>, root_tag: Option<&'r str>) -> Self

Creates a new Serializer that uses specified root tag name

Examples

When serializing a primitive type, only its representation will be written:

use quick_xml::Writer;

let mut buffer = Vec::new();
let mut writer = Writer::new_with_indent(&mut buffer, b' ', 2);
let mut ser = Serializer::with_root(writer, Some("root"));

"node".serialize(&mut ser).unwrap();
assert_eq!(String::from_utf8(buffer).unwrap(), "node");

When serializing a struct, newtype struct, unit struct or tuple root_tag is used as tag name of root(s) element(s):

use quick_xml::Writer;
use quick_xml::se::Serializer;

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Serialize)]
struct Struct {
    question: String,
    answer: u32,
}

let mut buffer = Vec::new();
let mut writer = Writer::new_with_indent(&mut buffer, b' ', 2);
let mut ser = Serializer::with_root(writer, Some("root"));

Struct {
    question: "The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything".into(),
    answer: 42,
}.serialize(&mut ser).unwrap();
assert_eq!(
    String::from_utf8(buffer.clone()).unwrap(),
    r#"<root question="The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything" answer="42"/>"#
);

Trait Implementations

impl<'r, 'w, W: Write> Serializer for &'w mut Serializer<'r, W>

type Ok = ()

The output type produced by this Serializer during successful serialization. Most serializers that produce text or binary output should set Ok = () and serialize into an [io::Write] or buffer contained within the Serializer instance. Serializers that build in-memory data structures may be simplified by using Ok to propagate the data structure around.

type Error = DeError

The error type when some error occurs during serialization.

Type returned from [serialize_seq] for serializing the content of the sequence.
