Error Conversion

From implementations.

Why Convert Errors?

Different layers of code produce different error types. To propagate them through one function, you need to convert lower-level errors into a unified type. Rust does this through the From trait.

The From Trait

From<T> defines how to build one type from another. Implementing it for your error type lets you convert source errors into it.

trait From<T> {
    fn from(value: T) -> Self;
}
