//! In order to allow extensibility in both what types can be encoded and how
//! they are encoded, encoding and decoding are split into two part each. An
//! implementation of the Encodable trait knows how to turn a specific type into
//! a generic form, and then uses an implementation of the Encoder trait to turn
//! this into concrete output (such as a JSON string). Decoder and Decodable do
//! the same for decoding.

/// trait. Non-trivial types will call one of the collection-emitting methods,
/// passing a function that may call other methods on the trait, but once the
/// collection-emitting method has returned, encoding should be complete.
