//! Generic data structure serialization framework.
//!
//! The two most important traits in this module are [`Serialize`] and
//! [`Serializer`].
//!
//!  - **A type that implements `Serialize` is a data structure** that can be
//!    serialized to any data format supported by Serde, and conversely
//!  - **A type that implements `Serializer` is a data format** that can
//!    serialize any data structure supported by Serde.
//!
//! # The Serialize trait
//!
//! Serde provides [`Serialize`] implementations for many Rust primitive and
//! standard library types. The complete list is below. All of these can be
//! serialized using Serde out of the box.
//!
//! Additionally, Serde provides a procedural macro called [`serde_derive`] to
//! automatically generate [`Serialize`] implementations for structs and enums
//! in your program. See the [derive section of the manual] for how to use this.
//!
//! In rare cases it may be necessary to implement [`Serialize`] manually for
//! some type in your program. See the [Implementing `Serialize`] section of the
//! manual for more about this.
//!
//! Third-party crates may provide [`Serialize`] implementations for types that
//! they expose. For example the [`linked-hash-map`] crate provides a
//! [`LinkedHashMap<K, V>`] type that is serializable by Serde because the crate
//! provides an implementation of [`Serialize`] for it.
//!
//! # The Serializer trait
//!
//! [`Serializer`] implementations are provided by third-party crates, for
//! example [`serde_json`], [`serde_yaml`] and [`postcard`].
//!
//! A partial list of well-maintained formats is given on the [Serde
//! website][data formats].
//!

/// A **data format** that can serialize any data structure supported by Serde.
///
/// The role of this trait is to define the serialization half of the [Serde
/// data model], which is a way to categorize every Rust data structure into one
/// of 29 possible types. Each method of the `Serializer` trait corresponds to
/// one of the types of the data model.
///
/// Implementations of `Serialize` map themselves into this data model by
/// invoking exactly one of the `Serializer` methods.
///
/// The types that make up the Serde data model are:
///
///  - **14 primitive types**
///    - bool
///    - i8, i16, i32, i64, i128
///    - u8, u16, u32, u64, u128
///    - f32, f64
///    - char
///  - **string**
///    - UTF-8 bytes with a length and no null terminator.
///    - When serializing, all strings are handled equally. When deserializing,
///      there are three flavors of strings: transient, owned, and borrowed.
///  - **byte array** - \[u8\]
///    - Similar to strings, during deserialization byte arrays can be
///      transient, owned, or borrowed.
///  - **option**
///    - Either none or some value.
///  - **unit**
///    - The type of `()` in Rust. It represents an anonymous value containing
///      no data.
///  - **unit_struct**
///    - For example `struct Unit` or `PhantomData<T>`. It represents a named
///      value containing no data.
///  - **unit_variant**
///    - For example the `E::A` and `E::B` in `enum E { A, B }`.
///  - **newtype_struct**
///    - For example `struct Millimeters(u8)`.
///  - **newtype_variant**
///    - For example the `E::N` in `enum E { N(u8) }`.
///  - **seq**
///    - A variably sized heterogeneous sequence of values, for example
///      `Vec<T>` or `HashSet<T>`. When serializing, the length may or may not
///      be known before iterating through all the data. When deserializing,
///      the length is determined by looking at the serialized data.
///  - **tuple**
///    - A statically sized heterogeneous sequence of values for which the
///      length will be known at deserialization time without looking at the
///      serialized data, for example `(u8,)` or `(String, u64, Vec<T>)` or
///      `[u64; 10]`.
///  - **tuple_struct**
///    - A named tuple, for example `struct Rgb(u8, u8, u8)`.
///  - **tuple_variant**
///    - For example the `E::T` in `enum E { T(u8, u8) }`.
///  - **map**
///    - A heterogeneous key-value pairing, for example `BTreeMap<K, V>`.
///  - **struct**
///    - A heterogeneous key-value pairing in which the keys are strings and
///      will be known at deserialization time without looking at the
///      serialized data, for example `struct S { r: u8, g: u8, b: u8 }`.
///  - **struct_variant**
///    - For example the `E::S` in `enum E { S { r: u8, g: u8, b: u8 } }`.
///
/// Many Serde serializers produce text or binary data as output, for example
/// JSON or Postcard. This is not a requirement of the `Serializer` trait, and
/// there are serializers that do not produce text or binary output. One example
/// is the `serde_json::value::Serializer` (distinct from the main `serde_json`
