Struct actix_web::Json

pub struct Json<T>(pub T);

Json helper

Json can be used for two different purpose. First is for json response generation and second is for extracting typed information from request's payload.

To extract typed information from request's body, the type T must implement the Deserialize trait from serde.

JsonConfig allows to configure extraction process.

Example

#[macro_use] extern crate serde_derive;
use actix_web::{App, Json, Result, http};

#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct Info {
    username: String,
}

/// deserialize `Info` from request's body
fn index(info: Json<Info>) -> Result<String> {
    Ok(format!("Welcome {}!", info.username))
}

fn main() {
    let app = App::new().resource(
       "/index.html",
       |r| r.method(http::Method::POST).with(index));  // <- use `with` extractor
}

The Json type allows you to respond with well-formed JSON data: simply return a value of type Json where T is the type of a structure to serialize into JSON. The type T must implement the Serialize trait from serde.

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct MyObj {
    name: String,
}

fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> Result<Json<MyObj>> {
    Ok(Json(MyObj {
        name: req.match_info().query("name")?,
    }))
}
