+Every week [the team](https://rust-lang.org/team.html) announces the
+'final comment period' for RFCs and key PRs which are reaching a
+decision. Express your opinions now. [This week's FCPs][fcp] are:

+
+# Crate of the Week
+
+This is a new part of this weekly installation, where we will write about a crate that some of you may not know.
+Please nominate a crate of your choice at the [rust-users thread](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/crate-of-the-week/2704/15) so we can write about it next week.
+
+For this first installment, the most votes went to [Serde](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde). Despite many of you probably knowing it, we accepted the popular vote because of the great benefit those who don't yet know it may get. Thanks go to [bstrie](https://users.rust-lang.org/users/bstrie) for the suggestion.
+
+[**Serde**](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde) (de)serializes arbitrary Rust data to a number of formats, including [JSON](https://crates.io/crates/serde_json), [XML](https://github.com/serde-rs/xml), [YAML](https://github.com/serde-rs/yaml/), [Bincode](https://crates.io/crates/bincode) and [MessagePack](https://crates.io/crates/rmp). It is possible to write encoder/decoder pairs to work with Serde that don't need to know too much about Rust objects, and Rust data structures only need a pair of auto-derived traits to work with Serde. Now what can one use serializaton for? Storing Rust objects in files or database blobs, sending them between processes, over language-barriers or over the network, for one.
+
+In short, Serde is _the_ Rust framework for your (de)serialization needs.

+# Quote of the Week

+*"[Rust] the language had to dedicate so much real estate to this (difficult) problem alone, it became a disharmonic creature with one bulging muscle and little of anything else."* — [Andrei Alexandrescu (one of designers of D)](https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/3ioy9b/andrei_alexandrescu_c_guru_leaves_facebook_to/cuj0csn).
