//! ### Design
//! [https://serde.rs/]: https://serde.rs/
//!
//! ## 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 code
//! generation to automatically derive implementations at compile time). This
//! 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 roughly the same speed as a handwritten serializer
//! for the specific selection of data structure and data format.

//!
//! ### Data formats
//! ## Data formats
//!
//! The following is a partial list of data formats that have been implemented
//! for Serde by the community.
//!
//! - [JSON](https://github.com/serde-rs/json), the ubiquitous JavaScript Object
//! Notation used by many HTTP APIs.
//! - [Bincode](https://github.com/TyOverby/bincode), a compact binary format

//! - [Bincode], a compact binary format
//! used for IPC within the Servo rendering engine.
//! - [CBOR](https://github.com/pyfisch/cbor), a Concise Binary Object
//! Representation designed for small message size without the need for
//! version negotiation.
//! - [YAML](https://github.com/dtolnay/serde-yaml), a popular human-friendly
//! configuration language that ain't markup language.
//! - [MessagePack](https://github.com/3Hren/msgpack-rust), an efficient binary
//! format that resembles a compact JSON.
//! - [TOML](https://github.com/alexcrichton/toml-rs), a minimal configuration
//! format used by [Cargo](http://doc.crates.io/manifest.html).
//! - [Pickle](https://github.com/birkenfeld/serde-pickle), a format common in
//! the Python world.
//! - [Hjson](https://github.com/laktak/hjson-rust), a variant of JSON designed
//! to be readable and writable by humans.
//! - [BSON](https://github.com/zonyitoo/bson-rs), the data storage and network
//! transfer format used by MongoDB.
//! - [URL](https://github.com/nox/serde_urlencoded), the x-www-form-urlencoded
//! format.
//! - [XML](https://github.com/serde-rs/xml), the flexible machine-friendly W3C
//! standard. *(deserialization only)*
//! - [Envy](https://github.com/softprops/envy), a way to deserialize
//! environment variables into Rust structs. *(deserialization only)*
//! - [Redis](https://github.com/OneSignal/serde-redis), deserialize values from
//! Redis when using [redis-rs](https://crates.io/crates/redis).
