ZON can be serialized with serialize. The following functions are provided for serializing recursive types: * serializeMaxDepth * serializeArbitraryDepth For additional control over serialization, see Serializer. The following types and any types that contain them may not be serialized: * type * void, except as a union payload * noreturn * Error sets/error unions * Untagged unions * Many-pointers or C-pointers * Opaque types, including anyopaque * Async frame types, including anyframe and anyframe->T * Functions All other types are valid. Unsupported types will fail to serialize at compile time. Pointers are followed.

tupleArbitraryDepth()

Lower level control over serialization, you can create a new instance with serializer. Useful when you want control over which fields are serialized, how they're represented, or want to write a ZON object that does not exist in memory. You can serialize values with value. To serialize recursive types, the following are provided: * valueMaxDepth * valueArbitraryDepth You can also serialize values using specific notations: * int * float * codePoint * tuple * tupleMaxDepth * tupleArbitraryDepth * string * multilineString For manual serialization of containers, see: * beginStruct * beginTuple # Example zig var sz = serializer(writer, .{}); var vec2 = try sz.beginStruct(.{}); try vec2.field("x", 1.5, .{}); try vec2.fieldPrefix(); try sz.value(2.5); try vec2.end();

/// Options for `Serializer`.
pub const SerializerOptions = struct {

            else => comptime unreachable,

fieldArbitraryDepth()

Like tuple, but recursive types are allowed. Returns error.ExceededMaxDepth if depth is exceeded.


        // Return null if the value shouldn't be printed as a Unicode codepoint, or the value casted
        // to a u21 if it should.
        switch (self) {

beginStructField()

Struct

If top level is true, whitespace before and after the multiline string is elided. If it is true, a newline is printed, then the value, followed by a newline, and if whitespace is true any necessary indentation follows.
