Motivation
Issue #1029 requests a method to convert a
DynamicObject
into aResource
. Such a method would avoid having to repeatedly implement this logic.Solution
This PR implements the
DynamicObject::try_parse
method to facilitate easy conversion from aDynamicObject
to aResource
. The method usesserde_json
to first serialize theDynamicObject
and then deserialize the JSON to theResource
.A small error type
ParseDynamicObjectError
has been implemented as well to represent a parsing failure. It wraps the originalserde_json::Error
so the original error information is preserved.
