done VS serde-this-or-that

When I started I used Relm4 right away and I managed to create Done, so, it’s fairly easy to learn.

Done by Eduardo Flores (I love it but it is still at a very early stage of development) and Collision by GeopJr (I don't use it bc I don't need it yet, but it is installed just in case)

You should open an issue, I’m sure we can make it happen.

Done is a simple to do app that lets you combine your existing set of task providers into one database, easily.

E.g., - https://github.com/edfloreshz/done/tree/main/src - https://github.com/MordechaiHadad/bob/tree/master/src - This guy showcasing clap has it in his project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD9ptABVQbI

I'm working on a rewrite of GNOME's To Do app, it's called Do!

Not a designer but I designed the icon for my app, check it out: https://github.com/edfloreshz/do

I was just working over the weekend on putting together a project, serde-this-or-that which is inspired by a blog post of a similar name, even though technically that blog post appears to discuss something slightly tangential to the matter. This project is inspired by a question posted on SO, which suggested a crate might be useful to deserialize cases where a json field has one of multiple possible multiple types (for example it could come as str or bool). I was also working on adding benchmarks, which this is actually the first crate where I have successfully put together benchmarks using criterion which I've been kind of nervous about using in general, but based on the docs it was pretty easy to set up so I'm kind of glad about that at least.

Update: for those curious, I've added benchmarks for comparison with serde_with here. After some more testing, I've release v0.4 and am confident that performance is now on par with serde_with. Also, I noticed that whenever serde_with::PickFirst is used, performance drops; in this case, serde_this_or_that does seem to perform 12x better in such scenarios.

The full release notes can be found on the project page on GitHub as well.

I've just published an initial release of serde-this-or-that, which builts on top of serde to provide custom deserialization for fields that can be specified as multiple types.
