// This file provides a tool to serialize arbitrary data structures
// into JSON, and back. It specifically supports serialization of FIDL
// data (structs, arrays, maps, and combinations thereof), but FIDL is
// not a requirement. For example, support for STL containers in
// addition to FIDL containers is easy to add once we need it.
//
// We use JSON as the serialization format to store structured values
// (and at times also structured keys) in the ledger.
//
// The design is inspired by Sun RPC's XDR, specifically the definiton
// of "filters". A filter function takes an operation and a data
// pointer, and depending on the operation parameter either serializes
// or deserializes the data. There is one such filter function for
// every data type. A filter for a simple data type does different
// things for serialization and deserialization, so having a single
// one for both operations instead of two separate functions barely
// reduces code size. However, the efficiency of this design shows in
// composition: A filter for a struct can be written by simply calling
// the filters for each field of the struct and passing the operation
// parameter down. Thus, a filter function for a struct is half the
// code size of a pair of serialization/deserialization functions.
//
// NOTES:
//
// XDR is not sync: Although the XDR operation can be applied to an
// existing instance of the output end (an existing FIDL struct, or an
// existing JSON AST), full synchronization of the data structure is
// not guaranteed. All data that exist in the input are added to the
// output, but not necessarily all data that don't exist in the input
// are removed from the output. Also, if an error occurs, the output
// is left in some intermediate state. The most suitable use for
// updates as of now is to always create a fresh output instance, and
// if the transciption succeeds, replace the previous instance by the
// fresh instance.
//
// XDR is not about resolving conflicts: If an existing output
// instance is updated using XDR, we might improve accuracy of
// removing data that no longer exist, but it is out of the scope of
// XDR (at least for now) to note that input data conflict with
// existing output data, and resolving the conflict. Conflict
// resolution between different versions of data is most likely
// handled outside XDR.
//
// It may be that we will use XDR to support conflict resolution in a
// data type agnostic way: Instead of defining a conflict resolution
// between e.g. STL or FIDL data structures, we might instead define
// XDR filters for them, translate all values to JSON, apply conflict
// resolution to JSON, and translate the result back.
//
// SCHEMA VERSION BACK COMPATIBILITY:
//
// The schema of the persistent data is defined in terms of filter functions. In
// order to support new versions of the code reading versions of the data
// written by old versions of the code, filter functions are always defined by
// the client at the top level entry points as lists, never as single functions.
//
// The lists contain the filter for the current version of the schema at the
// top, and filters for reading previous versions into the current version of
// the code below.
//
// Whenever the storage schema changes, a new version of the filter is created
// and add it to the version list.
//
// If the memory schema changes, filters of all versions are adjusted as
// necessary.
//
// Filters that don't change can be reused between versions. If a filter does
// not change, but the ones that it uses do change, templates can be used to
// save on code duplication.
//
// TODO(mesch): Right now there is no way to ensure that old versions of the
// code will never read new versions of the data. Support for this is expected
// from the Ledger, and partially from an upcoming API for explicit version
// numbers.
//
// See comments on XdrFilterType, XdrRead(), and XdrWrite() for details.

// Custom types are serialized by passing a function of this type to a method on
// XdrContext. Note this is a pointer type that points to a const (an existing
// function). So we will never use a reference or a const of it. However,
// argument values of such will still be defined const.
//
// The top level entry functions used by clients never pass a single filter
// function alone, but always a list of filters for different versions of the
// data, such that the reading code can fall back to functions reading
// previously written versions. Such lists can (and should) be defined
// statically as constexpr:

// that constexpr can be passed to. See Definition of XdrRead(), below.
