Expand description
De/Serialize timestamps as seconds since the UNIX epoch
De/serialize timestamps as seconds since the UNIX epoch.
Subsecond precision is only supported for TimestampSecondsWithFrac
, but not for TimestampSeconds
.
You can configure the serialization format between integers, floats, and stringified numbers with the FORMAT
specifier and configure the deserialization with the STRICTNESS
specifier.
The STRICTNESS
specifier can either be formats::Strict
or formats::Flexible
and defaults to formats::Strict
.
formats::Strict
means that deserialization only supports the type given in FORMAT
, e.g., if FORMAT
is i64
deserialization from a f64
will error.
formats::Flexible
means that deserialization will perform a best effort to extract the correct timestamp and allows deserialization from any type.
For example, deserializing TimestampSeconds<f64, Flexible>
will discard any subsecond precision during deserialization from f64
and will parse a String
as an integer number.
This type also supports [chrono::DateTime
] with the chrono_0_4
-feature flag.
This type also supports [time::OffsetDateTime
][::time_0_3::OffsetDateTime] and [time::PrimitiveDateTime
][::time_0_3::PrimitiveDateTime] with the time_0_3
-feature flag.
This table lists the available FORMAT
s for the different timestamp types.
The FORMAT
specifier defaults to i64
or f64
.
Timestamp Type | Converter | Available FORMAT s |
---|---|---|
std::time::SystemTime | TimestampSeconds | i64 , f64 , String |
std::time::SystemTime | TimestampSecondsWithFrac | f64 , String |
chrono::DateTime<Utc> | TimestampSeconds | i64 , f64 , String |
chrono::DateTime<Utc> | TimestampSecondsWithFrac | f64 , String |
chrono::DateTime<Local> | TimestampSeconds | i64 , f64 , String |
chrono::DateTime<Local> | TimestampSecondsWithFrac | f64 , String |
chrono::NaiveDateTime | TimestampSeconds | i64 , f64 , String |
chrono::NaiveDateTime | TimestampSecondsWithFrac | f64 , String |
time::OffsetDateTime | TimestampSeconds | i64 , f64 , String |
time::OffsetDateTime | TimestampSecondsWithFrac | f64 , String |
time::PrimitiveDateTime | TimestampSeconds | i64 , f64 , String |
time::PrimitiveDateTime | TimestampSecondsWithFrac | f64 , String |
§Examples
use std::time::{Duration, SystemTime};
#[serde_as]
#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize)]
struct Timestamps {
#[serde_as(as = "TimestampSeconds<i64>")]
st_i64: SystemTime,
#[serde_as(as = "TimestampSeconds<f64>")]
st_f64: SystemTime,
#[serde_as(as = "TimestampSeconds<String>")]
st_string: SystemTime,
};
// Serialization
// See how the values get rounded, since subsecond precision is not allowed.
let ts = Timestamps {
st_i64: SystemTime::UNIX_EPOCH.checked_add(Duration::new(12345, 0)).unwrap(),
st_f64: SystemTime::UNIX_EPOCH.checked_add(Duration::new(12345, 500_000_000)).unwrap(),
st_string: SystemTime::UNIX_EPOCH.checked_add(Duration::new(12345, 999_999_999)).unwrap(),
};
// Observe the different data types
let expected = json!({
"st_i64": 12345,
"st_f64": 12346.0,
"st_string": "12346",
});
assert_eq!(expected, serde_json::to_value(&ts).unwrap());
// Deserialization works too
// Subsecond precision in numbers will be rounded away
let json = json!({
"st_i64": 12345,
"st_f64": 12345.5,
"st_string": "12346",
});
let expected = Timestamps {
st_i64: SystemTime::UNIX_EPOCH.checked_add(Duration::new(12345, 0)).unwrap(),
st_f64: SystemTime::UNIX_EPOCH.checked_add(Duration::new(12346, 0)).unwrap(),
st_string: SystemTime::UNIX_EPOCH.checked_add(Duration::new(12346, 0)).unwrap(),
};
assert_eq!(expected, serde_json::from_value(json).unwrap());
chrono::DateTime<Utc>
and chrono::DateTime<Local>
are also supported when using the chrono
feature.
Like SystemTime
, it is a signed timestamp, thus can be de/serialized as an i64
.
use chrono::{DateTime, Local, TimeZone, Utc};

dt_f64: DateTime<Local>,
#[serde_as(as = "TimestampSeconds<String>")]
dt_string: DateTime<Utc>,
};
// Serialization
// See how the values get rounded, since subsecond precision is not allowed.
let ts = Timestamps {
dt_i64: Utc.timestamp(-12345, 0),
dt_f64: Local.timestamp(-12345, 500_000_000),

dt_string: Utc.timestamp(12346, 0),
};
