//! # Serde
//!
//! Serde is a framework for ***ser***ializing and ***de***serializing Rust data
//! structures efficiently and generically.
//!
//! The Serde ecosystem consists of data structures that know how to serialize
//! and deserialize themselves along with data formats that know how to
//! serialize and deserialize other things. Serde provides the layer by which
//! these two groups interact with each other, allowing any supported data
//! structure to be serialized and deserialized using any supported data format.
//!
//! See the Serde website <https://serde.rs> for additional documentation and
//! usage examples.
//!
//! ## Design
//!
//! Where many other languages rely on runtime reflection for serializing data,
//! Serde is instead built on Rust's powerful trait system. A data structure
//! that knows how to serialize and deserialize itself is one that implements
//! Serde's `Serialize` and `Deserialize` traits (or uses Serde's derive
//! attribute to automatically generate implementations at compile time). This
//! avoids any overhead of reflection or runtime type information. In fact in
//! many situations the interaction between data structure and data format can
//! be completely optimized away by the Rust compiler, leaving Serde
//! serialization to perform the same speed as a handwritten serializer for the
//! specific selection of data structure and data format.
//!
//! ## Data formats
//!
//! The following is a partial list of data formats that have been implemented
//! for Serde by the community.
//!
//! - [JSON], the ubiquitous JavaScript Object Notation used by many HTTP APIs.
//! - [Postcard], a no\_std and embedded-systems friendly compact binary format.
//! - [CBOR], a Concise Binary Object Representation designed for small message
//!   size without the need for version negotiation.
//! - [YAML], a self-proclaimed human-friendly configuration language that ain't
//!   markup language.
//! - [MessagePack], an efficient binary format that resembles a compact JSON.
//! - [TOML], a minimal configuration format used by [Cargo].
//! - [Pickle], a format common in the Python world.
//! - [RON], a Rusty Object Notation.
//! - [BSON], the data storage and network transfer format used by MongoDB.
//! - [Avro], a binary format used within Apache Hadoop, with support for schema
//!   definition.
//! - [JSON5], a superset of JSON including some productions from ES5.
//! - [URL] query strings, in the x-www-form-urlencoded format.
//! - [Starlark], the format used for describing build targets by the Bazel and
//!   Buck build systems. *(serialization only)*
//! - [Envy], a way to deserialize environment variables into Rust structs.
//!   *(deserialization only)*
//! - [Envy Store], a way to deserialize [AWS Parameter Store] parameters into
//!   Rust structs. *(deserialization only)*
//! - [S-expressions], the textual representation of code and data used by the
//!   Lisp language family.
//! - [D-Bus]'s binary wire format.
//! - [FlexBuffers], the schemaless cousin of Google's FlatBuffers zero-copy
//!   serialization format.
//! - [Bencode], a simple binary format used in the BitTorrent protocol.
//! - [Token streams], for processing Rust procedural macro input.
//!   *(deserialization only)*
//! - [DynamoDB Items], the format used by [rusoto_dynamodb] to transfer data to
//!   and from DynamoDB.
//! - [Hjson], a syntax extension to JSON designed around human reading and
//!   editing. *(deserialization only)*
//! - [CSV], Comma-separated values is a tabular text file format.
