I've just released structr, a CLI tool that automatically generates typed Rust structs from JSON input. It supports:

  • Generating proper Rust types based on JSON data
  • Taking multiple JSON samples to create complete schemas
  • Handling nested objects and arrays
  • Web framework integration (Actix, Axum, Rocket)
  • GraphQL support (both async-graphql and juniper)

#Installation

cargo install structr

Simply pipe in your JSON or point it to a file, and get a ready-to-use struct with proper serialization.

cat data.json | structr --name User
# or
structr --input data.json --name User

Give it a try and let me know what you think! https://github.com/bahdotsh/structr
