Optional serde build feature #45
Description
It would be nice to have an optional cargo build feature to allow Device information and Event data to be easily serialized using serde.
If you're interested, I could do the work and put up a PR.
For example, an event for a USB device insertion, serialized to JSON, might look like this:
