+## Serde in action
+
+```rust
+#[macro_use]
+extern crate serde_derive;
+
+extern crate serde;
+extern crate serde_json;
+
+#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug)]
+struct Point {
+    x: i32,
+    y: i32,
+}
+
+fn main() {
+    let point = Point { x: 1, y: 2 };
+
+    // Convert the Point to a JSON string.
+    let serialized = serde_json::to_string(&point).unwrap();
+
+    // Prints serialized = {"x":1,"y":2}
+    println!("serialized = {}", serialized);
+
+    // Convert the JSON string back to a Point.
+    let deserialized: Point = serde_json::from_str(&serialized).unwrap();
+
+    // Prints deserialized = Point { x: 1, y: 2 }
+    println!("deserialized = {:?}", deserialized);
+}
+```
+
+## Getting help
+
+Serde developers live in the #serde channel on
+[`irc.mozilla.org`](https://wiki.mozilla.org/IRC). The #rust channel is also a
+good resource with generally faster response time but less specific knowledge
+about Serde. If IRC is not your thing or you don't get a good response, we are
+happy to respond to [GitHub issues](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde/issues/new)
+as well.
