Rust: Parse nested JSON

Mar 24, 2022

Not a whole lot new to cover here that isn't already implied from the previous parsing JSON lesson. It works exactly as you'd expect. So here's a bonus shorthand way to parse an object into a JSON structure:

use serde_json::json;
fn main() {
let glenn = json!({
"name": "Glenn Gillen",
"age": 40,
"phones": [
"+61 448612567"
],
"address": {
"line1": "123 Main St",
"state": "VIC",
"country": "AU"
}
});
println!("first phone number: {}", glenn["phones"][0]);
println!("state: {}", glenn["address"]["state"]);
println!("{}", glenn.to_string());
}
Hi, I'm Glenn! 👋 I've spent most of my career working with or at startups. I'm currently the Director of Product @ Ockam where I'm helping developers build applications and systems that are secure-by-design. It's time we started securely connecting apps, not networks.

Previously I led the Terraform product team @ HashiCorp, where we launched Terraform Cloud and set the stage for a successful IPO. Prior to that I was part of the Startup Team @ AWS, and earlier still an early employee @ Heroku. I've also invested in a couple of dozen early stage startups.
