Trying to follow example on nickel-org site for json decoding and it referenced using rustc-serialize. According to the interwebs, rustc-serialize is now deprecated and they recommend using serde (see https://github.com/rust-lang-deprecated/rustc-serialize). Would it be worth updating these docs to use serde as well?

Should be the following changes:

Add two dependencies to Cargo.toml:

serde = { version="0.1.0", features=["derive"] }
serde_json = "1.0"

then in the example, the rust code should use:

use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};

derive updates to serde's impl:

#[derive(Serialize,Deserialize,Debug)]
struct Person {

and the rest should be the same...
