+**Serde is a framework for *ser*ializing and *de*serializing Rust data structures efficiently and generically.**
 
-Serde is a powerful framework that enables serialization libraries to
-generically serialize Rust data structures without the overhead of runtime type
-information. In many situations, the handshake protocol between serializers and
-serializees can be completely optimized away, leaving Serde to perform roughly
-the same speed as a hand written serializer for a specific type.

-Simple Serde Example
-====================
+- [An overview of Serde](https://serde.rs/)
+- [Data formats supported by Serde](https://serde.rs/#data-formats)
+- [Setting up `#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]`](https://serde.rs/codegen.html)
+- [Examples](https://serde.rs/examples.html)
+- [API documentation](https://docs.serde.rs/serde/)
 
-Here is a simple example that uses
-[serde_json](https://github.com/serde-rs/json), which uses Serde under the
-covers, to generate and parse JSON. First, lets start off with the `Cargo.toml`
-file:
-
-```toml
-[package]
-name = "serde_example"
-version = "0.1.0"
-authors = ["Erick Tryzelaar <erick.tryzelaar@gmail.com>"]
-
-[dependencies]
-serde_json = "*"
-```
-
-Next, the `src/main.rs` file itself:
-
-```rust,ignore
-extern crate serde_json;
-
-use std::collections::HashMap;
-use serde_json::Value;
-use serde_json::builder::{ArrayBuilder, ObjectBuilder};
-
-fn main() {
-    // Serde has support for many of the builtin Rust types, like arrays..:
-    let v = vec![1, 2];
-    let serialized = serde_json::to_string(&v).unwrap();
-    println!("serialized vec: {:?}", serialized);
-
-    let deserialized: Vec<u32> = serde_json::from_str(&serialized).unwrap();
-    println!("deserialized vec: {:?}", deserialized);
-
-    // ... and maps:
-    let mut map = HashMap::new();
-    map.insert("x".to_string(), 1);
-    map.insert("y".to_string(), 2);
-
-    let serialized = serde_json::to_string(&map).unwrap();
-    println!("serialized map: {:?}", serialized);
-
-    let deserialized: HashMap<String, u32> = serde_json::from_str(&serialized).unwrap();
-    println!("deserialized map: {:?}", deserialized);
-
-    // It also can handle complex objects:
-    let value = ObjectBuilder::new()
-        .insert("int", 1)
-        .insert("string", "a string")
-        .insert("array", ArrayBuilder::new()
-                .push(1)
-                .push(2)
-                .unwrap())
-        .unwrap();
-
-    let serialized = serde_json::to_string(&value).unwrap();
-    println!("serialized value: {:?}", serialized);
-
-    let deserialized: serde_json::Value = serde_json::from_str(&serialized).unwrap();
-    println!("deserialized value: {:?}", deserialized);
-}
-```
-
-This produces the following output when run:
-
-```
-% cargo run
-serialized vec: "[1,2]"
-deserialized vec: [1, 2]
-serialized map: "{\"y\":2,\"x\":1}"
-deserialized map: {"y": 2, "x": 1}
-serialized value: "{\"array\":[1,2],\"int\":1,\"string\":\"a string\"}"
-deserialized value: {"array":[1,2],"int":1,"string":"a string"}
-```
-
-Using Serde with Stable Rust and serde\_codegen
-===============================================
-
-The example before used `serde_json::Value` as the in-memory representation of
-the JSON value, but it's also possible for Serde to serialize to and from
-regular Rust types. However, the code to do this can be a bit complicated to
-write. So instead, Serde also has some powerful code generation libraries that
-work with Stable and Nightly Rust that eliminate much of the complexity of hand
-rolling serialization and deserialization for a given type.
-
-First lets see how we would use Stable Rust, which is currently a tad more
-complicated than Nightly Rust due to having to work around compiler plugins
-being unstable.  We will use `serde_codegen` which is based on the code
-generation library [syntex](https://github.com/serde-rs/syntex). First we need
-to setup the `Cargo.toml` that builds the project:
-
-```toml
-[package]
-name = "serde_example"
-version = "0.1.0"
-authors = ["Erick Tryzelaar <erick.tryzelaar@gmail.com>"]
-build = "build.rs"
-
-[build-dependencies]
-serde_codegen = "*"
-
-[dependencies]
-serde = "*"
-serde_json = "*"
-```
-
-Next, we define our source file, `src/main.rs.in`. Note this is a different
-extension than usual becaues we need to do code generation:
-
-```rust,ignore
-#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug)]
-struct Point {
-    x: i32,
-    y: i32,
-}
-
-fn main() {
-    let point = Point { x: 1, y: 2 };
-
-    let serialized = serde_json::to_string(&point).unwrap();
-    println!("{}", serialized);
-
-    let deserialized: Point = serde_json::from_str(&serialized).unwrap();
-    println!("{:?}", deserialized);
-}
-```
-
-To finish up the main source code, we define a very simple `src/main.rs` that
-uses the generated code.
-
-`src/main.rs`:
-
-```rust,ignore
-extern crate serde;
-extern crate serde_json;
-
-include!(concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/main.rs"));
-```
-
-The last step is to actually drive the code generation, with the `build.rs` script:
-
-```rust,ignore
-extern crate serde_codegen;
-
-use std::env;
-use std::path::Path;
-
-pub fn main() {
-    let out_dir = env::var_os("OUT_DIR").unwrap();
-
-    let src = Path::new("src/main.rs.in");
-    let dst = Path::new(&out_dir).join("main.rs");
-
-    serde_codegen::expand(&src, &dst).unwrap();
-}
-```
-
-All this produces this when run:
-
-```
-% cargo run
-{"x":1,"y":2}
-Point { x: 1, y: 2 }
-```
-
-While this works well with Stable Rust, be aware that the error locations
-currently are reported in the generated file instead of in the source file.
-
-Using Serde with Nightly Rust and serde\_macros
-===============================================
-
-The prior example is a bit more complicated than it needs to be due to compiler
-plugins being unstable. However, if you are already using Nightly Rust, you can
-use `serde_macros`, which has a much simpler interface. First, here is the new
-`Cargo.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[package]
-name = "serde_example_nightly"
-version = "0.1.0"
-authors = ["Erick Tryzelaar <erick.tryzelaar@gmail.com>"]
-
-[dependencies]
-serde = "*"
-serde_json = "*"
-serde_macros = "*"
-```
-
-Note that it doesn't need a build script. Now the `src/main.rs`, which enables
-the plugin feature, and registers the `serde_macros` plugin:
+## Serde in action
 
 ```rust
-#![feature(custom_derive, plugin)]
+#![feature(plugin, custom_derive)]
 #![plugin(serde_macros)]
 
 extern crate serde_json;

-
-The `src/main.rs.in` is the same as before.
-

-```
-% cargo build
-...

-
-Or with nightly:
-
-```
-% cargo build --features nightly --no-default-features

-
-Serialization without Macros
-============================
-
-Under the covers, Serde extensively uses the Visitor pattern to thread state
-between the
-[Serializer](http://serde-rs.github.io/serde/serde/serde/ser/trait.Serializer.html)
-and
-[Serialize](http://serde-rs.github.io/serde/serde/serde/ser/trait.Serialize.html)
-without the two having specific information about each other's concrete type.
-This has many of the same benefits as frameworks that use runtime type
-information without the overhead.  In fact, when compiling with optimizations,
-Rust is able to remove most or all the visitor state, and generate code that's
-nearly as fast as a hand written serializer format for a specific type.
-
-To see it in action, lets look at how a simple type like `i32` is serialized.
-The
-[Serializer](http://serde-rs.github.io/serde/serde/serde/ser/trait.Serializer.html)
-is threaded through the type:
-
-```rust,ignore
-impl serde::Serialize for i32 {
-    fn serialize<S>(&self, serializer: &mut S) -> Result<(), S::Error>
-        where S: serde::Serializer,
-    {
-        serializer.serialize_i32(*self)
-    }
-}
-```
-
-As you can see it's pretty simple. More complex types like `BTreeMap` need to
-pass a
-[MapVisitor](http://serde-rs.github.io/serde/serde/serde/ser/trait.MapVisitor.html)
-to the 
-[Serializer](http://serde-rs.github.io/serde/serde/serde/ser/trait.Serializer.html)
-in order to walk through the type:
-
-```rust,ignore
-impl<K, V> Serialize for BTreeMap<K, V>
-    where K: Serialize + Ord,
-          V: Serialize,
-{
-    #[inline]
-    fn serialize<S>(&self, serializer: &mut S) -> Result<(), S::Error>
-        where S: Serializer,
-    {
-        serializer.serialize_map(MapIteratorVisitor::new(self.iter(), Some(self.len())))
-    }
-}
-
-pub struct MapIteratorVisitor<Iter> {
-    iter: Iter,
-    len: Option<usize>,
-}
-
-impl<K, V, Iter> MapIteratorVisitor<Iter>
-    where Iter: Iterator<Item=(K, V)>
-{
-    #[inline]
-    pub fn new(iter: Iter, len: Option<usize>) -> MapIteratorVisitor<Iter> {
-        MapIteratorVisitor {
-            iter: iter,
-            len: len,
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-impl<K, V, I> MapVisitor for MapIteratorVisitor<I>
-    where K: Serialize,
-          V: Serialize,
-          I: Iterator<Item=(K, V)>,
-{
-    #[inline]
-    fn visit<S>(&mut self, serializer: &mut S) -> Result<Option<()>, S::Error>
-        where S: Serializer,
-    {
-        match self.iter.next() {
-            Some((key, value)) => {
-                let value = try!(serializer.serialize_map_elt(key, value));
-                Ok(Some(value))
-            }
-            None => Ok(None)
-        }
-    }
-
-    #[inline]
-    fn len(&self) -> Option<usize> {
-        self.len
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Serializing structs follow this same pattern. In fact, structs are represented
-as a named map. Its visitor uses a simple state machine to iterate through all
-the fields:
-
-```rust
-extern crate serde;
-extern crate serde_json;
-
-struct Point {
-    x: i32,
-    y: i32,
-}
-
-impl serde::Serialize for Point {
-    fn serialize<S>(&self, serializer: &mut S) -> Result<(), S::Error>
-        where S: serde::Serializer
-    {
-        serializer.serialize_struct("Point", PointMapVisitor {
-            value: self,
-            state: 0,
-        })
-    }
-}
-
-struct PointMapVisitor<'a> {
-    value: &'a Point,
-    state: u8,
-}
-
-impl<'a> serde::ser::MapVisitor for PointMapVisitor<'a> {
-    fn visit<S>(&mut self, serializer: &mut S) -> Result<Option<()>, S::Error>
-        where S: serde::Serializer
-    {
-        match self.state {
-            0 => {
-                self.state += 1;
-                Ok(Some(try!(serializer.serialize_struct_elt("x", &self.value.x))))
-            }
-            1 => {
-                self.state += 1;
-                Ok(Some(try!(serializer.serialize_struct_elt("y", &self.value.y))))
-            }
-            _ => {
-                Ok(None)
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-fn main() {
-    let point = Point { x: 1, y: 2 };
+    // Convert the Point to a JSON string.
     let serialized = serde_json::to_string(&point).unwrap();
 
-    println!("{}", serialized);
-}
-```
-
-Deserialization without Macros
-==============================
-
-Deserialization is a little more complicated since there's a bit more error
-handling that needs to occur. Let's start with the simple `i32`
-[Deserialize](http://serde-rs.github.io/serde/serde/serde/de/trait.Deserialize.html)
-implementation. It passes a
-[Visitor](http://serde-rs.github.io/serde/serde/serde/de/trait.Visitor.html) to the
-[Deserializer](http://serde-rs.github.io/serde/serde/serde/de/trait.Deserializer.html).
-The [Visitor](http://serde-rs.github.io/serde/serde/serde/de/trait.Visitor.html)
-can create the `i32` from a variety of different types:
-
-```rust,ignore
-impl Deserialize for i32 {
-    fn deserialize<D>(deserializer: &mut D) -> Result<i32, D::Error>
-        where D: serde::Deserializer,
-    {
-        deserializer.deserialize(I32Visitor)
-    }
-}
-
-struct I32Visitor;
-
-impl serde::de::Visitor for I32Visitor {
-    type Value = i32;
-
-    fn visit_i16<E>(&mut self, value: i16) -> Result<i32, E>
-        where E: Error,
-    {
-        self.visit_i32(value as i32)
-    }
-
-    fn visit_i32<E>(&mut self, value: i32) -> Result<i32, E>
-        where E: Error,
-    {
-        Ok(value)
-    }
-
-    ...
-
-```
-
-Since it's possible for this type to get passed an unexpected type, we need a
-way to error out. This is done by way of the
-[Error](http://serde-rs.github.io/serde/serde/serde/de/trait.Error.html) trait,
-which allows a 
-[Deserialize](http://serde-rs.github.io/serde/serde/serde/de/trait.Deserialize.html)
-to generate an error for a few common error conditions. Here's how it could be used:
-
-```rust,ignore
-    ...
-
-    fn visit_string<E>(&mut self, _: String) -> Result<i32, E>
-        where E: Error,
-    {
-        Err(serde::de::Error::custom("expect a string"))
-    }
-
-    ...
-
-```
-
-Maps follow a similar pattern as before, and use a
-[MapVisitor](http://serde-rs.github.io/serde/serde/serde/de/trait.MapVisitor.html)
-to walk through the values generated by the 
-[Deserializer](http://serde-rs.github.io/serde/serde/serde/de/trait.Deserializer.html).
-
-```rust,ignore
-impl<K, V> serde::Deserialize for BTreeMap<K, V>
-    where K: serde::Deserialize + Eq + Ord,
-          V: serde::Deserialize,
-{
-    fn deserialize<D>(deserializer: &mut D) -> Result<BTreeMap<K, V>, D::Error>
-        where D: serde::Deserializer,
-    {
-        deserializer.deserialize(BTreeMapVisitor::new())
-    }
-}
-
-pub struct BTreeMapVisitor<K, V> {
-    marker: PhantomData<BTreeMap<K, V>>,
-}
-
-impl<K, V> BTreeMapVisitor<K, V> {
-    pub fn new() -> Self {
-        BTreeMapVisitor {
-            marker: PhantomData,
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-impl<K, V> serde::de::Visitor for BTreeMapVisitor<K, V>
-    where K: serde::de::Deserialize + Ord,
-          V: serde::de::Deserialize
-{
-    type Value = BTreeMap<K, V>;
-
-    fn visit_unit<E>(&mut self) -> Result<BTreeMap<K, V>, E>
-        where E: Error,
-    {
-        Ok(BTreeMap::new())
-    }
-
-    fn visit_map<V_>(&mut self, mut visitor: V_) -> Result<BTreeMap<K, V>, V_::Error>
-        where V_: MapVisitor,
-    {
-        let mut values = BTreeMap::new();
-
-        while let Some((key, value)) = try!(visitor.visit()) {
-            values.insert(key, value);
-        }
-
-        try!(visitor.end());
-
-        Ok(values)
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Deserializing structs goes a step further in order to support not allocating a
-`String` to hold the field names. This is done by custom field enum that
-deserializes an enum variant from a string. So for our `Point` example from
-before, we need to generate:
-
-```rust
-extern crate serde;
-extern crate serde_json;
-
-#[derive(Debug)]
-struct Point {
-    x: i32,
-    y: i32,
-}
-
-enum PointField {
-    X,
-    Y,
-}
-
-impl serde::Deserialize for PointField {
-    fn deserialize<D>(deserializer: &mut D) -> Result<PointField, D::Error>
-        where D: serde::de::Deserializer
-    {
-        struct PointFieldVisitor;
-
-        impl serde::de::Visitor for PointFieldVisitor {
-            type Value = PointField;
-

-Design Considerations and tradeoffs for Serializers and Deserializers
-=====================================================================
+## Getting help
 
-Serde serialization and deserialization implementations are written in such a
-way that they err on being able to represent more values, and also provide
-better error messages when they are passed an incorrect type to deserialize
-from. For example, by default, it is a syntax error to deserialize a `String`
-into an `Option<String>`. This is implemented such that it is possible to
-distinguish between the values `None` and `Some(())`, if the serialization
-format supports option types.
+Serde developers live in the #serde channel on
+[`irc.mozilla.org`](https://wiki.mozilla.org/IRC). The #rust channel is also a
+good resource with generally faster response time but less specific knowledge
+about Serde. If IRC is not your thing, we are happy to respond to [GitHub
+issues](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde/issues/new) as well.
 
-However, many formats do not have option types, and represents optional values
-as either a `null`, or some other value. Serde `Serializer`s and
-`Deserializer`s can opt-in support for this. For serialization, this is pretty
-easy. Simply implement these methods:

-For deserialization, this can be implemented by way of the
-`Deserializer::visit_option` hook, which presumes that there is some ability to peek at what is the
-next value in the serialized token stream. This following example is from
-[serde_tests::TokenDeserializer](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde/blob/master/serde_tests/tests/token.rs#L435-L454),
-where it checks to see if the next value is an `Option`, a `()`, or some other
-value:

-Using in `no_std` crates
-========================
-
-The core `serde` package defines a number of features to enable usage in a
-variety of freestanding environments. Enable any or none of the following
-features, and use `default-features = false` in your `Cargo.toml`:
-
-- `alloc` (implies `nightly`)
-- `collections` (implies `alloc` and `nightly`)
-- `std` (default)
-
-If you only use `default-features = false`, you will receive a stock `no_std`
-serde with no support for any of the collection types.
-
-Upgrading from Serde 0.6
-========================
-
-* `#[serde(skip_serializing_if_none)]` was replaced with `#[serde(skip_serializing_if="Option::is_none")]`.
-* `#[serde(skip_serializing_if_empty)]` was replaced with `#[serde(skip_serializing_if="Vec::is_empty")]`.
