Description
I have a use case where I need to "deserialize" Value
s into instances of struct Foo
.
This feels related to #17. Perhaps the impedance mismatch between valuable::Visit and serde::de::Visit is slight enough to be overcome with a generic implementation that allows deserializing a valuable::Value
into anything that implements serde::de::Deserialize
?
A while ago, I decided to start on an implementation that relies on a FromValue
trait and a corresponding proc-macro, which can fallibly convert valuable::Value
to any type that it's implemented for. I guess at the time, I must not have considered the serde solution. That implementation is available here.
Is this kind of functionality something that the team would be interested in incorporating into valuable
or valuable-serde
? If so, what should be the shape of that solution? Alternatively, if something seems fundamentally wrong about my use of tokio tracing, I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks very much!
