pub struct Json<T>(pub T);
Expand description

JSON extractor and responder.

Json has two uses: JSON responses, and extracting typed data from JSON request payloads.

Extractor

To extract typed data from a request body, the inner type T must implement the serde::Deserialize trait.

Use JsonConfig to configure extraction options.

use actix_web::{post, web, App};
use serde::Deserialize;

#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct Info {
    username: String,
}

/// deserialize `Info` from request's body
#[post("/")]
async fn index(info: web::Json<Info>) -> String {
    format!("Welcome {}!", info.username)
}

Responder

The Json type JSON formatted responses. A handler may return a value of type Json<T> where T is the type of a structure to serialize into JSON. The type T must implement serde::Serialize.

use actix_web::{post, web, HttpRequest};
use serde::Serialize;

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct Info {
    name: String,
}

#[post("/{name}")]
async fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> web::Json<Info> {
    web::Json(Info {
        name: req.match_info().get("name").unwrap().to_owned(),
    })
}
