YAD Core

YAD Core is a Rust crate focused exclusively on the low-level Value type, supporting numbers, strings, booleans, and arrays.

⚠️ NOTE: THIS CRATE, WHICH PREVIOUSLY HANDLED FULL SERIALIZATION AND DESERIALIZATION, NOW ONLY MANAGES VALUES. The previous full functionality has been moved to serde_yad.

This crate provides:

• The Value type for primitive and array data
• A lightweight FFI module for cross-language interoperability

✨ Features

• Fast and lightweight representation of numbers, strings, booleans, and arrays
• Strongly typed primitive values
• Cross-language support via FFI

🚀 Usage

Add the crate to your Cargo.toml:

cargo add yad_core

Example: Creating various Values

use yad_core::Value;

fn main() {
    println!("String: {}", Value::try_from("Hello!").unwrap());
    println!("Unsigned Integer: {}", Value::from(324u16));
    println!("Signed Integer: {}", Value::from(-28i8));
    println!("Float: {}", Value::from(123.729304f32));
    println!("Bool: {}", Value::from(false));
    println!("Vector: {:?}", Value::try_from(vec![Value::from(256u64)]).unwrap());
}

FFI Usage

The ffi module provides interoperability with other languages, exposing functions to create and manipulate Value types from external code.
