cmakepp_lang/serialization/serialization

Defines the public API for serializing CMake values of various types into a JSON formatted string.

cmakepp_lang/serialization/serialization.cpp_serialize(result value)

Public API for serializing a value to JSON.

When a caller outside of the serialization submodule needs an object serialized they should go through this API. This API wraps the (usually) recursive procedure required to serialize a complicated object factoring out the pieces that only need to be done once.

Parameters:

• result (desc) – The name for the variable which will hold the result.

• value (str) – The value we are serializing.

Returns:

result will be set to the serialized form of``value``.

Return type:

desc
