//! Generic data structure deserialization framework.
//!
//! The two most important traits in this module are [`Deserialize`] and
//! [`Deserializer`].
//!
//!  - **A type that implements `Deserialize` is a data structure** that can be
//!    deserialized from any data format supported by Serde, and conversely
//!  - **A type that implements `Deserializer` is a data format** that can
//!    deserialize any data structure supported by Serde.
//!
//! # The Deserialize trait
//!
//! Serde provides [`Deserialize`] implementations for many Rust primitive and
//! standard library types. The complete list is below. All of these can be
//! deserialized using Serde out of the box.
//!
//! Additionally, Serde provides a procedural macro called [`serde_derive`] to
//! automatically generate [`Deserialize`] 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 [`Deserialize`] manually for
//! some type in your program. See the [Implementing `Deserialize`] section of
//! the manual for more about this.
//!
//! Third-party crates may provide [`Deserialize`] implementations for types
//! that they expose. For example the [`linked-hash-map`] crate provides a
//! [`LinkedHashMap<K, V>`] type that is deserializable by Serde because the
//! crate provides an implementation of [`Deserialize`] for it.
//!
//! # The Deserializer trait
//!
//! [`Deserializer`] implementations are provided by third-party crates, for
//! example [`serde_json`], [`serde_yaml`] and [`bincode`].
//!
//! A partial list of well-maintained formats is given on the [Serde
//! website][data formats].
//!
//! # Implementations of Deserialize provided by Serde
//!
//! This is a slightly different set of types than what is supported for
//! serialization. Some types can be serialized by Serde but not deserialized.
//! One example is `OsStr`.
//!

///
/// As one example of stateful deserialization consider deserializing a JSON

///
/// The canonical API for stateless deserialization looks like this:

/// ```edition2018
/// # use serde::Deserialize;
/// #
/// # enum Error {}
/// #
/// fn func<'de, T: Deserialize<'de>>() -> Result<T, Error>
/// # {
/// #     unimplemented!()
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// Adjusting an API like this to support stateful deserialization is a matter

/// ```edition2018
/// # use serde::de::DeserializeSeed;
/// #
/// # enum Error {}
/// #
/// fn func_seed<'de, T: DeserializeSeed<'de>>(seed: T) -> Result<T::Value, Error>
/// # {
/// #     let _ = seed;
/// #     unimplemented!()
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// In practice the majority of deserialization is stateless. An API expecting a
/// seed can be appeased by passing `std::marker::PhantomData` as a seed in the
/// case of stateless deserialization.
///
/// # Lifetime
///
/// The `'de` lifetime of this trait is the lifetime of data that may be
/// borrowed by `Self::Value` when deserialized. See the page [Understanding

///
/// [Understanding deserializer lifetimes]: https://serde.rs/lifetimes.html
///
/// # Example
///
/// Suppose we have JSON that looks like `[[1, 2], [3, 4, 5], [6]]` and we need
/// to deserialize it into a flat representation like `vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]`.

/// A **data format** that can deserialize any data structure supported by
/// Serde.
///
/// The role of this trait is to define the deserialization half of the [Serde
/// data model], which is a way to categorize every Rust data type into one of
/// 29 possible types. Each method of the `Deserializer` trait corresponds to one
/// of the types of the data model.
///
/// Implementations of `Deserialize` map themselves into this data model by
/// passing to the `Deserializer` a `Visitor` implementation that can receive
/// these various types.
///
/// 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 } }`.
///
/// The `Deserializer` trait supports two entry point styles which enables
/// different kinds of deserialization.
///
/// 1. The `deserialize` method. Self-describing data formats like JSON are able
///    to look at the serialized data and tell what it represents. For example
///    the JSON deserializer may see an opening curly brace (`{`) and know that
///    it is seeing a map. If the data format supports
///    `Deserializer::deserialize_any`, it will drive the Visitor using whatever
///    type it sees in the input. JSON uses this approach when deserializing
///    `serde_json::Value` which is an enum that can represent any JSON
///    document. Without knowing what is in a JSON document, we can deserialize
///    it to `serde_json::Value` by going through
///    `Deserializer::deserialize_any`.
///
/// 2. The various `deserialize_*` methods. Non-self-describing formats like
///    Bincode need to be told what is in the input in order to deserialize it.
///    The `deserialize_*` methods are hints to the deserializer for how to
///    interpret the next piece of input. Non-self-describing formats are not
///    able to deserialize something like `serde_json::Value` which relies on
///    `Deserializer::deserialize_any`.
///
/// When implementing `Deserialize`, you should avoid relying on
/// `Deserializer::deserialize_any` unless you need to be told by the
/// Deserializer what type is in the input. Know that relying on
/// `Deserializer::deserialize_any` means your data type will be able to
/// deserialize from self-describing formats only, ruling out Bincode and many
/// others.
