Serde Core is a collection of core functionalities and abstractions for Serde, a framework for serializing and deserializing Rust data structures efficiently and generically.
Serde Core exposes core traits and utilities for interacting with Serde's data model. It is intended to be consumed by Serde's data formats and other crates that implement the Serde traits by hand.
If you are looking to use Serde in your library/application to simply serialize and deserialize data, you most likely want to use Serde directly.
Serde Core does not offer any convenience functions for automatically implementing Serialize or Deserialize via a #[derive] macro.

Getting help
Serde is one of the most widely used Rust libraries so any place that Rustaceans congregate will be able to help you out. For chat, consider trying the #rust-questions or #rust-beginners channels of the unofficial community Discord (invite: https://discord.gg/rust-lang-community), the #rust-usage or #beginners channels of the official Rust Project Discord (invite: https://discord.gg/rust-lang), or the #general stream in Zulip. For asynchronous, consider the [rust] tag on StackOverflow, the /r/rust subreddit which has a pinned weekly easy questions post, or the Rust Discourse forum. It's acceptable to file a support issue in this repo but they tend not to get as many eyes as any of the above and may get closed without a response after some time.
