ever find yourself looking for a way to pass data into a <code>Deserialize</code> impl,
this trait is the way to do it.</p>
<p>As one example of stateful deserialization consider deserializing a JSON
array into an existing buffer. Using the <code>Deserialize</code> trait we could
deserialize a JSON array into a <code>Vec&lt;T&gt;</code> but it would be a freshly allocated
<code>Vec&lt;T&gt;</code>; there is no way for <code>Deserialize</code> to reuse a previously allocated
buffer. Using <code>DeserializeSeed</code> instead makes this possible as in the
example code below.</p>
<p>The canonical API for stateless deserialization looks like this:</p>
<div class="example-wrap edition"><a href="#" class="tooltip" title="This example runs with edition 2021"></a><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">fn </span>func&lt;<span class="lifetime">'de</span>, T: Deserialize&lt;<span class="lifetime">'de</span>&gt;&gt;() -&gt; <span class="prelude-ty">Result</span>&lt;T, Error&gt;</code></pre></div>
<p>Adjusting an API like this to support stateful deserialization is a matter
of accepting a seed as input:</p>
<div class="example-wrap edition"><a href="#" class="tooltip" title="This example runs with edition 2021"></a><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">fn </span>func_seed&lt;<span class="lifetime">'de</span>, T: DeserializeSeed&lt;<span class="lifetime">'de</span>&gt;&gt;(seed: T) -&gt; <span class="prelude-ty">Result</span>&lt;T::Value, Error&gt;</code></pre></div>
<p>In practice the majority of deserialization is stateless. An API expecting a
seed can be appeased by passing <code>std::marker::PhantomData</code> as a seed in the
case of stateless deserialization.</p>
<h2 id="lifetime"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#lifetime">§</a>Lifetime</h2>
<p>The <code>'de</code> lifetime of this trait is the lifetime of data that may be
borrowed by <code>Self::Value</code> when deserialized. See the page <a href="https://serde.rs/lifetimes.html">Understanding
deserializer lifetimes</a> for a more detailed explanation of these lifetimes.</p>
<h2 id="example"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#example">§</a>Example</h2>
<p>Suppose we have JSON that looks like <code>[[1, 2], [3, 4, 5], [6]]</code> and we need
to deserialize it into a flat representation like <code>vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]</code>.
Allocating a brand new <code>Vec&lt;T&gt;</code> for each subarray would be slow. Instead we
would like to allocate a single <code>Vec&lt;T&gt;</code> and then deserialize each subarray
into it. This requires stateful deserialization using the <code>DeserializeSeed</code>
trait.</p>
