* Make json require string and pass around metadata The json deserializer was accepting any inputs by coercing non-strings into strings. As an example, if the input was `[1, 2]` the coercion would turn into `[12]` and deserialize as a list containing number twelve instead of a list of two numbers, one and two. This could lead to silent data corruption. Aside from that pipeline metadata wasn't passed aroud. This commit fixes the type issue by adding a strict conversion function that errors if the input type is not a string or external stream. It then uses this function instead of the original `collect_string()`. In addition, this function returns the pipeline metadata so it can be passed along. * Make other formats require string The problem with json coercing non-string types to string was present in all other text formats. This reuses the `collect_string_strict` function to fix them. * `IntoPipelineData` cleanup The method `into_pipeline_data_with_metadata` can now be conveniently used.
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
