Safely cast &T to &U where the struct U contains a single field of type T. (by dtolnay)
serde-aux

Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

create a &Struct for a &Value
Yes, that's possible if you use repr(transparent). And as always David Tolnay has a crate for that: https://github.com/dtolnay/ref-cast

When Rust hurts
Actually you can, as long as the newtype struct has #[repr(transparent)]. The ref-cast crate makes it easy to do this without having to (directly) use unsafe code!

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (5/2023)!
You can add #[repr(transparent)] and then call transmute(), or use https://github.com/dtolnay/ref-cast (which is exactly what it does anyway, providing a safe interface).

If you want to additionally parse strings into numbers, take a look at https://github.com/vityafx/serde-aux (or write a custom deserializer, ofc.).
