Rust is a fast-growing, modern programming language oriented to system programming that guarantees memory and thread safety. It enables you to eliminate many classes of bugs at compile-time. This course covers all the skills needed to work with real-world data using Rust. 

In this course, you’ll learn all the basics of intermediate Rust programming. You’ll discover and master the five data-related skills: data input, storage, serving data, analyzing data, and data visualization. You’ll learn to ingest data from various formats, like CSV, JSON, web APIs, and web scraping. You’ll also learn to store the data using Redis, an SQL server, or a NoSQL database like MongoDB. Finally, you will learn how to present your data in meaningful visualizations, web maps, and reports. 

After taking this course, you’ll be able to approach data using Rust with confidence. You’ll be able to manage SQLite, ORM SQL, and NoSQL databases in Rust. You’ll learn the basics of web scraping, data analysis, and machine learning in Rust.

Processing Real-world Data Efficiently with Rust

## JSON, JavaScript, and web data

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a data interchange format. It is loosely based on a subset of JavaScript data structures and widely used on the web.


It is a format meant to be human-readable, with characteristics familiar to the C language family, C/C++, Java, JavasScript, and Rust.

As the name suggests, JSON describes objects. However, the language is not limited to working with objects. It’s also helpful for working with: values, strings, and arrays.

Unlike CSV, JSON is codified with [ECMA-404](https://www.ecma-international.org/publications-and-standards/standards/ecma-404/).

JSON has become the de facto data interchange format for the web, especially for web services. It has many derivative formats such as [GeoJSON](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946), a IETF standard used for geographic data.


# Rust and JSON

Rust has various crates that can be used to handle JSON. However, the easiest format to use is still [serde_json](https://crates.io/crates/serde_json), which is already integrated with Serde.

We can add the following dependencies in Cargo.toml, like so:


```ini
[dependencies]
serde = { version = "1", features = ["derive"] }
serde_json = "1"
```

Now we are all set:
