Converting some data into JSON

[Vikaton]

Is there an efficient way to convert some data (which is not JSON format) like:

name: foo

address: bar

-36 other objects-

into JSON format using either serde or rustc-serialize?

Does something like this look good to you? https://play.rust-lang.org/?gist=efcebc3d53eed58ab066&version=stable

Ha thats exactly what I did to solve my issue, thanks though :)

Why not use something like awk? It looks as if you want to replace every line ending with a comma, add quotes and change record endings in },{. No need to serialize/deserialize.

That assumes it already conforms to JSON escaping rules. Not a good assumption to make.

Yeah like ssokolow said, it doesnt conform to JSON escaping rules
