Trait for writing out an encoding when serializing.

This trait provides methods to encode basic types and generic forms of collections. Implementations of Encodable use it to perform the actual encoding of a type.

It is unspecified what is done with the encoding - it could be stored in a variable, or written directly to a file, for example.

Encoders can expect to only have a single "root" method call made on this trait. Non-trivial types will call one of the collection-emitting methods, passing a function that may call other methods on the trait, but once the collection-emitting method has returned, encoding should be complete.

fn emit_enum<F>(&mut self, name: &str, f: F) -> Result<(), Self::Error> where

Emit an optional value.

f is a function that will call either emit_option_none or emit_option_some as appropriate.

This method allows encoders to handle Option<T> values specially, rather than using the generic enum methods, because many encoding formats have a built-in "optional" concept.

Note that external Encodable implementations should not normally need to use this method directly; it is meant for the use of this module's own implementation of Encodable for Option<T>.

fn emit_option_none(&mut self) -> Result<(), Self::Error>

Emit the None optional value.

This should only be called from a function passed to emit_option.

fn emit_option_some<F>(&mut self, f: F) -> Result<(), Self::Error> where

    F: FnOnce(&mut Self) -> Result<(), Self::Error>, 

Emit an associative container (map).

  • len is the number of entries in the map.
  • f is a function that will call emit_map_elt_key and emit_map_elt_val for each entry in the map.

        })
    }
}

fn emit_map_elt_key<F>(&mut self, idx: usize, f: F) -> Result<(), Self::Error> where
    F: FnOnce(&mut Self) -> Result<(), Self::Error>, 

Emit the key for an entry in a map.

This should only be called from a function passed to emit_map.

  • idx is the (zero-based) index of the entry in the map
  • f is a function that will call the appropriate emit method to encode the key.

Note that map entries must be emitted in order - starting with index 0 and finishing with index len-1 - and for each entry, the key should be emitted followed immediately by the value.

fn emit_map_elt_val<F>(&mut self, idx: usize, f: F) -> Result<(), Self::Error> where
    F: FnOnce(&mut Self) -> Result<(), Self::Error>, 

Emit the value for an entry in a map.

This should only be called from a function passed to emit_map.

  • idx is the (zero-based) index of the entry in the map
