examples

Examples

This folder contains both native Zig examples and browser-oriented wasm examples.

The native examples show the core typed API across the supported formats. The wasm examples show how to move typed data across a JS boundary or parse foreign payloads inside the module.

Build them all with:

zig build examples

That produces native executables and .wasm artifacts in zig-out/bin/.

Native examples in this folder:

• json_roundtrip.zig: serialize a Zig struct to JSON and parse it back
• toml_roundtrip.zig: serialize a Zig struct to TOML and parse it back
• yaml_roundtrip.zig: serialize a Zig struct to YAML and parse it back
• cbor_roundtrip.zig: serialize a Zig struct to CBOR and parse it back
• bson_roundtrip.zig: serialize a Zig struct to BSON and parse it back
• msgpack_roundtrip.zig: serialize a Zig struct to MessagePack and parse it back
• zon_roundtrip.zig: serialize a Zig struct to ZON and parse it back
• bin_roundtrip.zig: serialize a Zig struct to zerde's compact binary format and parse it back

WASM examples in this folder export the same host-facing helpers:

• alloc_input(len) to reserve wasm memory for incoming bytes
• free_input(ptr, len) to release that input buffer
• output_ptr() and output_len() to expose the last successful output buffer
• release_output() to free that output buffer

Examples in this folder:

• wasm_bin_bridge.zig: serialize a Zig struct for JS and read compact binary back into wasm
• wasm_json_bridge.zig: parse JSON inside wasm and reserialize it to canonical JSON
• wasm_zon_bridge.zig: parse ZON inside wasm and reserialize it to canonical ZON
• wasm_yaml_bridge.zig: parse YAML inside wasm and reserialize it to JSON
• wasm_msgpack_bridge.zig: parse MessagePack inside wasm and reserialize it to JSON
