Failed to deserialize json data into struct since `type` is a keyword

[agile path]

#[derive(serde::Deserialize)]
struct ChildrenEntry {
    date_added: String,
    date_last_used: String,
    guid: String,
    id: String,
    meta_info: BookmarkIgnore3,
    name: String,
    type: String,
    url: String,
}

I am trying to deserialize into this type ChildrenEntry but type is a keyword

https://serde.rs/field-attrs.html#rename

[timber tide]

or (worse) r#type for the field's name

As Helix (noop_noob) suggested I would suggest using serde rename to rename the field automatically during deserialization because otherwise the word type is a reserved keyword in rust and you cannot use it. So according to the suggestion here is the updated version of your code 🙂 :

#[derive(serde::Deserialize)]
struct ChildrenEntry {
    date_added: String,
    date_last_used: String,
    guid: String,
    id: String,
    meta_info: BookmarkIgnore3,
    name: String,
    #[serde(rename = "type")]
    some_type: String,
    url: String,
}

I hope this helps 🙂
