Implementing JSON Response Formats for Rust APIs | glowing-telegram project - Episode 83
5In this video, I focus on implementing the JSON response formats for Rust APIs in our React-Admin project, Glowing Telegram. Recorded on May 26, 2024, this episode dives deep into technical details while maintaining a casual, relaxed coding atmosphere appropriate for a Sunday morning session. Join me as I navigate challenges, explore solutions, and share insights that can be beneficial for both front-end and back-end developers utilizing Rust and React-Admin frameworks.

#### Main Points Discussed:
- *Initial Setup and Approach:* I start by discussing my approach to handling the backend API so the frontend can perform its functions more flexibly. I consider using different response formats and tools for JSON management.
- *API Response Handling:* I delve into changing the response format to a JSON object, facing errors, and trying different approaches to ensure each API response comes back correctly formatted as JSON. I update project dependencies to work with the new response requirements.
- *Code Adjustments:* I modify the chat message handling to adapt to the new API specifications, including parsing different content types like text and image URLs.
- *Persisting Chat Sessions:* I explore options for managing chat sessions within React-Admin, considering global state management and local storage for session data persistence.
- *Commit and Version Control:* I manage Git commits carefully, ensuring proper updates to dependencies and code functionality separate from larger changes to keep the commit history clear and understandable.
- *User Interaction and Q&A:* Toward the end of the session, I answer viewer questions about Rust's future, the challenges of learning it, and how it compares with other languages like TypeScript or C++ for different types of projects.
#### Tools and Technologies Used:
- **Rust Programming Language**: For backend API development, emphasizing safe and concurrent code execution.
- **React-Admin**: For building flexible admin interfaces to interact with the API.
- **OpenAI API**: To handle various functionalities, including advanced AI-based responses for chat messages.
- **Diesel ORM**: To manage and interact with PostgreSQL databases within the Rust project.
