Ent  

Ent is an abstract object library. Using Rust's monomorphization, you can write zero cost interfaces across multiple object types including JSON and Python dictionaries. If you are interested in contributing to Ent, please do! We would welcome any help including additional object implementations.

Warning: this is in early development and there may be a more generic approach to this problem that utilizes e.g. serde's Visitor in order to apply to a large number of object-like formats. See also dict_derive from the Pyo3 ecosystem.

Getting Started

[dependencies]

# Specify supported implementations using feature keys:
#  - python
#  - json
ent = { version = "0.1", features = ["python"] }

Examples

use ent::Ent;

fn get_name<E: Ent>(e: &E) -> Result<&str> {
    e.get("name").unwrap().as_str()
}

let v: serde_json::Value = serde_json::from_str(r#"{"name":"test"}"#).unwrap();
let ref name = get_name(&v).unwrap();
assert_eq!(name, &"test")
