Deprecate JsValue::from_serde and JsValue::into_serde (#3031)
* Deprecate `JsValue::from_serde` and `JsValue::into_serde`

I've listed `serde-wasm-bindgen` as the replacement, and changed the section of the guide that talks about Serde to talk about `serde-wasm-bindgen` instead of the deprecated methods.

I didn't remove it entirely because I can imagine someone remembering it and trying to look it back up, only to find that it no longer exists, which would quite frustrating. I also added a footnote about the deprecated methods in case someone remembers the old way and wants to know what happened.

There were several examples using `from_serde`/`into_serde`, which I updated to use `serde-wasm-bindgen` or not use `serde` altogether.

The `fetch` example was a bit weird, in that it took a JS value, parsed it into a Rust value, only to serialize it back into a JS value. I removed that entirely in favour of just passing the original JS value directly. I suppose it behaves slightly differently in that it loses the extra validation, but a panic isn't all that much better than a JS runtime error.

* fmt

* Mention JSON as an alternative to `serde-wasm-bindgen`

* Use `gloo-utils` instead of raw `JSON`

I was considering leaving the examples using `JSON` directly and mentioning `gloo-utils` as an aside, but that has the major footgun that `JSON.stringify(undefined) === undefined`, causing a panic when deserializing `undefined` since the return type of `JSON::stringify` isn't optional. `gloo-utils` works around this, so I recommended it instead.

* Mention `gloo-utils` in API docs

* Rephrase section about deprecated methods

wasm-bindgen

Facilitating high-level interactions between Wasm modules and JavaScript.

Build Status Crates.io version Download docs.rs docs

Guide | API Docs | Contributing | Chat

Built with 🦀🕸 by The Rust and WebAssembly Working Group

Example

Import JavaScript things into Rust and export Rust things to JavaScript.

use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;

// Import the `window.alert` function from the Web.
#[wasm_bindgen]
extern "C" {
    fn alert(s: &str);
}

// Export a `greet` function from Rust to JavaScript, that alerts a
// hello message.
#[wasm_bindgen]
pub fn greet(name: &str) {
    alert(&format!("Hello, {}!", name));
}

Use exported Rust things from JavaScript with ECMAScript modules!

import { greet } from "./hello_world";

greet("World!");

Features

  • Lightweight. Only pay for what you use. wasm-bindgen only generates bindings and glue for the JavaScript imports you actually use and Rust functionality that you export. For example, importing and using the document.querySelector method doesn't cause Node.prototype.appendChild or window.alert to be included in the bindings as well.

  • ECMAScript modules. Just import WebAssembly modules the same way you would import JavaScript modules. Future compatible with WebAssembly modules and ECMAScript modules integration.

  • Designed with the "Web IDL bindings" proposal in mind. Eventually, there won't be any JavaScript shims between Rust-generated wasm functions and native DOM methods. Because the wasm functions are statically type checked, some of those native methods' dynamic type checks should become unnecessary, promising to unlock even-faster-than-JavaScript DOM access.
