zipson-playground

This is my Capstone Project for 2024 Summer RustCamp provided by Ukrainian Rust Community.

serde_zipson is serde-compatible Rust implementation of zipson compression format.

This simple web-playground allows to convert JSON data to zipson and vice versa in realtime. It is built on top of Leptos (WASM-based reactive front-end framework) and Tailwind (utility-first CSS framework)

This playground is available on Github Pages

Prerequisites

1. Install Rust

2. Install Trunk

3. Add wasm target to Rust toolchain:

   rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
   

Build project

trunk build

Or run dev server

trunk serve --port <port> [--open]

Known issues

• initial conversion for some reason takes 40+ ms while consequent conversions take up to 1 ms
• serde_zipson panics on integer overflow
• serde_zipson repeat feature not working yet, so [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1] ends up in |ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ÷ instead of |Êþþþ^5÷
• serde_zipson object template feature not working yet, so [{"key":"value1"},{"key":"value2"}] ends up in |{¨key¨¨value1¨}{ß0¨value2¨}÷ instead of |¦¨key¨‡¨value1¨¨value2¨—÷

Further improvements

• try to attach some JS code editor with syntax highlighting (e.g. Ace Editor) to JSON input using wasm-bindgen
• set up GitHub Actions to deploy to pages
