<p>The two most important traits in this module are <a href="../trait.Serialize.html"><code>Serialize</code></a> and
<a href="../trait.Serializer.html"><code>Serializer</code></a>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>A type that implements <code>Serialize</code> is a data structure</strong> that can be
serialized to any data format supported by Serde, and conversely</li>
<li><strong>A type that implements <code>Serializer</code> is a data format</strong> that can
serialize any data structure supported by Serde.</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="the-serialize-trait" class="section-header"><a href="#the-serialize-trait">The Serialize trait</a></h1>
<p>Serde provides <a href="../trait.Serialize.html"><code>Serialize</code></a> implementations for many Rust primitive and
standard library types. The complete list is below. All of these can be
serialized using Serde out of the box.</p>
<p>Additionally, Serde provides a procedural macro called <a href="https://crates.io/crates/serde_derive"><code>serde_derive</code></a> to
automatically generate <a href="../trait.Serialize.html"><code>Serialize</code></a> implementations for structs and enums
in your program. See the <a href="https://serde.rs/codegen.html">codegen section of the manual</a> for how to use
this.</p>
<p>In rare cases it may be necessary to implement <a href="../trait.Serialize.html"><code>Serialize</code></a> manually for
some type in your program. See the <a href="https://serde.rs/impl-serialize.html">Implementing <code>Serialize</code></a> section of the
manual for more about this.</p>
<p>Third-party crates may provide <a href="../trait.Serialize.html"><code>Serialize</code></a> implementations for types that
they expose. For example the <a href="https://crates.io/crates/linked-hash-map"><code>linked-hash-map</code></a> crate provides a
<a href="https://docs.rs/linked-hash-map/*/linked_hash_map/struct.LinkedHashMap.html"><code>LinkedHashMap&lt;K, V&gt;</code></a> type that is serializable by Serde because the crate
provides an implementation of <a href="../trait.Serialize.html"><code>Serialize</code></a> for it.</p>
<h1 id="the-serializer-trait" class="section-header"><a href="#the-serializer-trait">The Serializer trait</a></h1>
<p><a href="../trait.Serializer.html"><code>Serializer</code></a> implementations are provided by third-party crates, for
example <a href="https://github.com/serde-rs/json"><code>serde_json</code></a>, <a href="https://github.com/dtolnay/serde-yaml"><code>serde_yaml</code></a> and <a href="https://github.com/TyOverby/bincode"><code>bincode</code></a>.</p>
<p>A partial list of well-maintained formats is given on the <a href="https://serde.rs/#data-formats">Serde
website</a>.</p>

<h2>Search Tricks</h2>
<p>
Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
<code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
</p>
<p>
Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
<code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
<code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
and <code>const</code>.
</p>
<p>
Search functions by type signature (e.g.
<code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
