Rust File Format Parsers: CSV, JSON, TOML, and Error Reporting

A practical two-hour session on Rust File Format Parsers, focused on CSV, JSON, TOML, and Error Reporting. Rust is used as the implementation context while the core lesson stays on software engineering fundamentals, reliability, testing, and operational clarity.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Rust File Format Parsers
• Apply CSV in a small working example
• Apply JSON in a small working example
• Apply TOML in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
