How to decode account data using Rust?

Question

I'm trying to get the account data using Rust and the solana_sdk. I have the following code where account.data is a Vec.

    let pubkey = Pubkey::from_str("4qRdUCHMGAfBEE3MNTiZZXpx3DawAWpGwDpqE2EV2QQ2").unwrap();

    let account = client.get_account(&pubkey).unwrap();
    println!("{:?}", account.data);

When trying to decode the byte array:

    let data = String::from_utf8(account.data).unwrap();

I get an error:

error: Utf8Error { valid_up_to: 1, error_len: Some(1) } }

How can I decode account data using Rust?

mpl_token_metadata::accounts::Metadata has a function from_bytes which serializes the bytes into a Metadata struct:

let meta: Metadata = Metadata::from_bytes(&account.data).unwrap();
