Examples

Custom INI parser

use serde::Deserialize;

const DATA: &str = "
num = 42
text = foo
list = bar
list = baz
list = qux
";

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
struct Data {
    num: u64,
    text: String,
    list: Vec<String>,
}

fn main() {
    let data: Data = alpm_parsers::custom_ini::from_str(DATA).unwrap();
}

The main difference between the regular INI parser and this one is that it allows duplicate keys in a section and collects them into a Vec.

Furthermore, the delimiter must be a =, which is much more rigid than classic ini, as that allows to not use surrounding whitespaces or even other characters as delimiters.

Note: Serde's flatten attribute is currently not supported. See this issue for more details.
