The merde logo: a glorious poop floating above a pair of hands

The merde family of crates aims to provide a lighter, simpler, and build-time-friendly alternative to serde.

This "core" crate provides core types like Value, Array, Map, and CowStr<'s> (a copy-on-write string type that also leverages compact_str's small string optimization), and traits like Deserialize and IntoStatic.

Crates that provide support for formats (like merde_json), depend only on the "core" crate.

The umbrella crate merde re-exports core's types, along with a derive! macro which lets you implement Serialize, Deserialize, IntoStatic, on structs, enums, etc.
