Getty

Getty is a framework for building robust, optimal, and reusable (de)serializers in Zig.

Goals

• Simplify (de)serializer implementations.
• Enable granular customization of the (de)serialization process.
• Avoid as much performance overhead as possible.

Features

• Compile-time (de)serialization.
• Out-of-the-box support for standard library types.
• Local customization of (de)serialization logic for existing and remote types.

Quick Start

Zig code

const std = @import("std");
const json = @import("json");

const ally = std.heap.page_allocator;

pub fn main() !void {
    const Point = struct { x: i32, y: i32 };
    const point = Point{ .x = 1, .y = 2 };

    // Serialize a Point value into JSON.
    const slice = try json.toSlice(ally, point);
    defer ally.free(slice);

    // Deserialize JSON data into a Point.
    const result = try json.fromSlice(ally, Point, slice);
    defer result.deinit();

    // Print results.
    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{slice});
    std.debug.print("{}\n", .{result.value});
}

Shell session

$ zig build run
{"x":1,"y":2}
