Taking a crack at adding serde support to nickel-rs which is the main reason I went with iron for a simple project recently.

I’m finding a lot of cases where crates that use rustc-serialize need both serde and serde_json , which means having a plain serde crate feature doesn’t work. I’ve been calling the feature with-serde , but it’d good if there was some ‘standard’ I could use so users don’t end up having a mix of serde , with_serde , with-serde , use_serde etc all through their cargo configs.
