WebExtension native messaging with serde_json as the (de)serializer.

Reading

In your web extension:

const port = browser.runtime.connectNative('native executable');

port.postMessage('Hey, there!');

Then in your native executable:

use web_ext_native_messaging::read_message;

let message = read_message::<String>().unwrap();
println!("{}", message);

Writing

In your web extension:

const port = browser.runtime.connectNative('native executable');

port.onMessage.addListener((message) => {
  console.log(message);
});

Then in your native executable:

use web_ext_native_messaging::write_message;

let message = "Hey, there!".to_string();
write_message(&message).unwrap();

See the native messaging documentation for precise instructions on how to send and receive messages.
