Serialization
-------------
Serialization by [`serde`](https://crates.io/crates/serde) is not yet implemented.
While it is simple to serialize a Rust type to `JSON` via `serde`,
then use [`Engine::parse_json`]({{rootUrl}}/language/json.md) to convert it into an [object map],
Rhai supports serializing a [`Dynamic`] directly via `serde` without going through the `JSON` step.
It is simple to serialize a Rust type to `JSON` via `serde`, then use [`Engine::parse_json`]({{rootUrl}}/language/json.md) to convert
it into an [object map].
The function `rhai::see::to_dynamic` automatically converts any Rust type that implements `serde::Serialize`
into a [`Dynamic`].
In particular, Rust `struct`'s (or any type that is marked as a `serde` map) are converted into [object maps]
while Rust `Vec`'s (or any type that is marked as a `serde` sequence) are converted into [arrays].
```rust
use rhai::{Dynamic, Map};
use rhai::ser::to_dynamic;
#[derive(Debug, serde::Serialize)]
struct Point {
x: f64,
y: f64
}
#[derive(Debug, serde::Serialize)]
struct MyStruct {
a: i64,
b: Vec<String>,
c: bool,
d: Point
}
let x = MyStruct {
a: 42,
b: vec![ "hello".into(), "world".into() ],
c: true,
d: Point { x: 123.456, y: 999.0 }
};
// Convert the 'MyStruct' into a 'Dynamic'
let map: Dynamic = to_dynamic(x);
map.is::<Map>() == true;
```
