What it is

RON (Rusty Object Notation) is a human-readable data serialization format designed specifically for Rust, implementing Serde's complete data model. It provides an alternative to JSON and TOML with Rust-like syntax, supporting structs, enums, tuples, arrays, maps, ranges, and all primitive types while maintaining full round-trip serialization/deserialization capability. Clean modular structure: src/de/ handles deserialization with id.rs, tag.rs, and value.rs submodules; src/ser/ mirrors serialization with raw.rs, path_meta.rs, and value.rs; src/value/ provides the abstract value representation with map.rs and number.rs; src/parse.rs handles tokenization; src/extensions.rs gate optional…

Start here

Read these in order:

  • src/parse.rs — Foundation: doesn't import anything internally and is imported by 2 other files. Read first to learn the vocabulary.
  • src/de/id.rs — Foundation: imported by 1, no internal dependencies of its own.
  • src/error.rs — Built on the foundation; imported by 2 downstream files.
  • src/value/number.rs — Layer 2 — application-level code that wires the lower layers together.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone and build using Cargo (Rust's package manager, evident from Cargo.toml): git clone https://github.com/ron-rs/ron && cd ron && cargo build. To run tests: cargo test. To run examples: `cargo run --example decode…

Daily commands:

Not a server/daemon project. To validate the parser: cargo test runs the test suite. To fuzz: cargo fuzz run from_str (requires cargo-fuzz). To see examples: cargo run --example example.ron shows the grammar, or `…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 78% of recent commits
  • MSRV is strictly 1.64.0 (rust-version field in Cargo.toml)—code must not use newer Rust features. The unicode-segmentation dependency is optional and gated behind the internal-span-substring-test feature which should…
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
