Rust Programming Tutorial #42 – Parsing JSON

I tend to use JSON in almost all of my projects, the simple data format is friendly and supported by pretty much every programming language, including Rust. By using the ‘serde_json’ library you are able to work with JSON – in this video I talk specifically about parsing JSON.

Parsing/decoding JSON can be done in two ways: you can access data using a simple array-like data structure (serde_json::Value) or you can conveniently map the JSON string to an actual programmer-defined struct. In this video I show you both ways.

This is all thanks to the serde_json library, take a look and say thank you here:
