Rust port of pandoc-types

This library provides a Rust port of the pandoc-types Haskell package.

To install, add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
pandoc_types = "0.6"

What this library is for

The purpose of pandoc-types is to allow Rust programs to natively manipulate Pandoc documents. Using this library, Rust programs should be able to create and modify Pandoc documents in a principled way (i.e. via ASTs, not text). This library can also be used along with serde_json to serialize and deserialize Pandoc documents to and from Pandoc's JSON format.

What this library is NOT for

This library does not provide a way of calling the Pandoc executable itself. If that's what you're looking for, consider the rust-pandoc library.

Compatibility

The current version is compatible with Haskell pandoc-types 1.23. This is the most recent version at the time of writing.

Supported modules

The following modules from pandoc-types are supported:

• Haskell Text.Pandoc.Definition (as pandoc_types::definition in Rust)

Note that Text.Pandoc.JSON is unnecessary in Rust because all types implement Serialize and Deserialize from serde and can be used directly with serde_json.

Example usage

let para = Block::Para(vec![Inline::Str("b".to_owned())]);

let s = serde_json::to_string(&para)?;
println!("serialized = {}", s);

let d: Block = serde_json::from_str(&s)?;
println!("deserialized = {:?}", d);

For a full example, see examples/definition.rs.
