Expand description
Serde is a framework for serializing and deserializing Rust data structures efficiently and generically.
The serde_core crate contains Serde’s trait definitions with no support
for #[derive()].
In crates that derive an implementation of Serialize or Deserialize, you
must depend on the serde crate, not serde_core.
In crates that handwrite implementations of Serde traits, or only use them
as trait bounds, depending on serde_core is permitted. But serde
re-exports all of these traits and can be used for this use case too. If in
doubt, disregard serde_core and always use serde.
Crates that depend on serde_core instead of serde are able to compile in
parallel with serde_derive even when serde’s “derive” feature is turned on,
as shown in the following build timings.
