question: Vec<CustomStruct> for headers and data?

Question

Is there a way to serialize a vec to a xlsx data table? I was looking through the documentation but it seems only to be possible from arrays and things that are iters, I imagine there should be a way to serialize a vec into a table but it's evading me.

Could you give an example of a data structure you want to serialize. Also when you say "data table" do you mean a worksheet or a worksheet table.

[cchance27]

Basically just a struct example:

{ Column1: size,Column2: usize}
let data = Vec![example { Column1: 0, Column:2 }, example { Column1: 3, Column:4}];

Basically a way to turn the above data into an excel worksheet with first row headers Column1, Column2… followed by data rowsPardon my reply being poorly formatted responding from mail on my phone.

Thanks.

Would serde style serialization meet you needs? I'm probably going to implement that as the next major feature. See also #50

[jmcnamara]

Closing this because it will probably be covered by #50, when complete.

Would the following work for your use case: WIP and RFC: Initial support for Serde serialization #61
