Module serde

This module adds serde serialization and deserialization support for Amounts. Since there is not a default way to serialize and deserialize Amounts, multiple ways are supported and it’s up to the user to decide which serialiation to use. The provided modules can be used as follows:

use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
use bitcoin_units::Amount;

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct HasAmount {
    #[serde(with = "bitcoin_units::amount::serde::as_btc")]
    pub amount: Amount,
}

Modules

as_btc

Serialize and deserialize Amount as JSON numbers denominated in BTC. Use with #[serde(with = "amount::serde::as_btc")].

as_sat

Serialize and deserialize Amount as real numbers denominated in satoshi. Use with #[serde(with = "amount::serde::as_sat")].
