//! JSON5 is a superset of [JSON][] with an expanded syntax including some productions from
//! [ECMAScript 5.1][].
//!
//! In particular, JSON5 allows comments, trailing commas, object keys without quotes, single
//! quoted strings and more. See the [JSON5 project page][] for full details.
//!
//! ```json5,ignore
//! {
//! // comments
//! unquoted: 'and you can quote me on that',
//! singleQuotes: 'I can use "double quotes" here',
//! lineBreaks: "Look, Mom! \
//! No \\n's!",
//! hexadecimal: 0xdecaf,
//! leadingDecimalPoint: .8675309, andTrailing: 8675309.,
//! positiveSign: +1,
//! trailingComma: 'in objects', andIn: ['arrays',],
//! "backwardsCompatible": "with JSON",
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! This crate provides functions for deserializing JSON5 text into a Rust datatype and for
//! serializing a Rust datatype as JSON5 text, both via the [Serde framework][].
//!
//! # Deserialization
//!
//! Implementing Serde’s [`Deserialize`][] trait on your type will allow you to parse JSON5
//! text into a value of that type with [`from_str`][].
//!
//! ```rust
//! use serde_derive::Deserialize;
//!
//! #[derive(Deserialize, Debug, PartialEq)]
//! struct Config {
//! message: String,
//! n: i32,
//! }
//!
//! let config = "
//! {
//! // A traditional message.
//! message: 'hello world',
//!
//! // A number for some reason.
//! n: 42,
//! }
//! ";
//!
//! assert_eq!(
//! json5::from_str(config),
//! Ok(Config {
//! message: "hello world".to_string(),
//! n: 42,
//! }),
//! );
//! ```
//!
//! There are many ways to customise the deserialization (e.g. deserializing `camelCase` field
//! names into a struct with `snake_case` fields). See the Serde docs, especially the
//! [Attributes][], [Custom serialization][] and [Examples][] sections.
//!
//! # Serialization
//!
//! Similarly, implementing [`Serialize`][] on a Rust type allows you to produce a JSON5
//! serialization of values of that type with [`to_string`][]. At present the serializer will just
//! produce JSON (since it's a valid subset of JSON5), but future work will allow specifying the
//! output style (single over double quotes, trailing commas, indentation etc.).
//!
//! ```rust
//! use serde_derive::Serialize;
//!
//! #[derive(Serialize, PartialEq, Debug)]
//! #[serde(untagged)]
//! enum Val {
//! Number(f64),
//! Bool(bool),
//! String(String),
//! }
//!
//! assert_eq!(
//! json5::to_string(&vec![
//! Val::Number(42.),
//! Val::Bool(true),
//! Val::String("hello".to_owned()),
//! ]),
//! Ok("[42,true,\"hello\"]".to_owned()),
//! )
//! ```
//!
//! There are many ways to customise the serialization (e.g. serializing `snake_case` struct fields
//! as `camelCase`). See the Serde docs, especially the [Attributes][], [Custom serialization][]
//! and [Examples][] sections.
//!
//! # Limitations
//!
//! At the time of writing the following is unsupported:
//!
//! - deserializing into borrowed types (e.g. fields of type `&str`)
//!
//! - serializing or deserializing [byte arrays][]
//!
//! - specifying the style of JSON5 output from the serializer (single over double quotes, trailing
//! commas, indentation etc.)
