# Re-export the derive(Serialize, Deserialize) macros. This is intended for
# library crates that provide optional Serde impls behind a Cargo cfg of their
# own.
#
# Mainly this is a workaround for limitations associated with
# rust-lang/cargo#1286 in which a library crate cannot use one "serde" cfg in
# Cargo to enable dependencies on both serde and serde_derive crates.
#
# The recommended way to provide optional Serde support that requires derive is
# as follows. In particular, please do not name your library's Serde feature
# anything other than "serde".
#
# [dependencies]
# serde = { version = "1.0", optional = true, features = ["derive"] }
#
# Within the library, these optional Serde derives would be written like this.
#
# #[cfg(feature = "serde")]
# #[macro_use]
# extern crate serde;
#
# #[cfg_attr(feature = "serde", derive(Serialize, Deserialize))]
# struct ...
#
# Provide derive(Serialize, Deserialize) macros.
derive = ["serde_derive"]
# Provide impls for common standard library types like Vec<T> and HashMap<K, V>.

// Re-export #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)].

// This is a workaround for https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/1286.
// Without this re-export, crates that put Serde derives behind a cfg_attr would
// need to use some silly feature name that depends on both serde and
// serde_derive.
//
// [features]
// serde-impls = ["serde", "serde_derive"]
//
// [dependencies]
// serde = { version = "1.0", optional = true }
// serde_derive = { version = "1.0", optional = true }

// # Used like this:
// # #[cfg(feature = "serde-impls")]
// # #[macro_use]
// # extern crate serde_derive;
// #
// # #[cfg_attr(feature = "serde-impls", derive(Serialize, Deserialize))]
// # struct S { /* ... */ }
//
// The re-exported derives allow crates to use "serde" as the name of their
// Serde feature which is more intuitive.

// [dependencies]
// serde = { version = "1.0", optional = true, features = ["derive"] }

//
// The reason re-exporting is not enabled by default is that disabling it would
// be annoying for crates that provide handwritten impls or data formats. They
// would need to disable default features and then explicitly re-enable std.
