#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Initialize the client
    let anidb = AniDbHttpClient::new()?;
    // All IDs are Strings
    let anime_id = "17110";
    // Get xml data from AniDB and deserialize it into `Anime` struct
    let anime: Anime = anidb.get_anime(anime_id).await?;
    // Serialize this struct into json and write it into file, for testing purposes
    let file = std::fs::File::create("anime.json")?;
    serde_json::to_writer_pretty(file, &anime)?;
    println!("`Anime` struct serialized successfully!");
