# nu-json
[![crate](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/nu-json.svg?style=flat-square)](https://crates.io/crates/nu-json)
> a fork of [serde_hjson](https://crates.io/crates/serde-hjson).
> The changes made to this crate are kept in [CHANGELOG](/crates/nu-json/CHANGELOG.md).
The Rust implementation of Hjson is based on the [Serde JSON Serialization Library](https://github.com/serde-rs/json).
This crate is a Rust library for parsing and generating Human JSON [Hjson](https://hjson.github.io). It is built upon [Serde](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde), a high performance generic serialization framework.
# Install
This crate works with Cargo and can be found on [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/nu-json) with a `Cargo.toml` like:
```toml
[dependencies]
serde = "1"
nu-json = "0.76"
```
## From the Commandline
Add with:
```
cargo add serde
cargo add nu-json
```
# Usage
```rust
extern crate serde;
extern crate nu_json;
use nu_json::{Map,Value};
fn main() {
// Now let's look at decoding Hjson data
let sample_text=r#"
{
# specify rate in requests/second
rate: 1000
array:
[
foo
bar
]
}"#;
// Decode and unwrap.
let mut sample: Map<String, Value> = nu_json::from_str(&sample_text).unwrap();
// scope to control lifetime of borrow
{
// Extract the rate
let rate = sample.get("rate").unwrap().as_f64().unwrap();
println!("rate: {}", rate);
// Extract the array
let array : &mut Vec<Value> = sample.get_mut("array").unwrap().as_array_mut().unwrap();
println!("first: {}", array.first().unwrap());
// Add a value
array.push(Value::String("baz".to_string()));
}
// Encode to Hjson
let sample2 = nu_json::to_string(&sample).unwrap();
println!("Hjson:\n{}", sample2);
}
```
# DOCS
At the moment, the documentation on [serde_hjson](https://docs.rs/serde-hjson/0.9.1/serde_hjson/) / [serde_json](https://docs.rs/serde_json/1.0.93/serde_json/) is also relevant for nu-json.
