tokio::sync::RwLock has no support for serde Serialize and Deserialize?

[CSRaghunandan]

I am trying to convert a piece of code that used std::sync::RwLock to tokio::sync::RwLock, but i'm getting the below errors:

 the trait `_::_serde::Serialize` is not implemented for `tokio::sync::RwLock<MyType>

It's not possible because reading the data in the RwLock requires taking a read lock, but serde is not performing the serialization in an async environment, so it cannot do the .await necessary to lock the rw-lock.

[CSRaghunandan]

Is there an async version of serde which can serialize and deserialize tokio's RwLock?

No.
