//!
//! See the module level documentation for the
//! [`reader`] and [`writer`] for usage examples.
//!
//! # Binary Data uses `Base16` Encoding
//!
//! As per [RFC7159] JSON cannot encode arbitrary binary data. This crate works around that
//! limitation by encoding/decoding binary data as a [hexadecimal] string (i.e.
//! [`Base16` encoding]).
//!
//! Note that `Base16` only has 50% space efficiency (i.e., the encoded data is twice as large
//! as the original). If that is an issue, we recommend to convert binary data to/from a different
//! encoding format such as `Base64` instead. See the following example for details.
//!
//! ## `Base64` Encoding Example
//!
//! [`Base64`] is a common [binary-to-text encoding] scheme with a space efficiency of 75%. The
//! following example shows how to use the [`arrow_cast`] crate to encode binary data to `Base64`
//! before converting it to JSON and how to decode it back.
//!
//! ```
//! # use std::io::Cursor;
//! # use std::sync::Arc;
//! # use arrow_array::{BinaryArray, RecordBatch, StringArray};
//! # use arrow_array::cast::AsArray;
//! use arrow_cast::base64::{b64_decode, b64_encode, BASE64_STANDARD};
//! # use arrow_json::{LineDelimitedWriter, ReaderBuilder};
//! #
//! // The data we want to write
//! let input = BinaryArray::from(vec![b"\xDE\x00\xFF".as_ref()]);
//!
//! // Base64 encode it to a string
//! let encoded: StringArray = b64_encode(&BASE64_STANDARD, &input);
//!
//! // Write the StringArray to JSON
//! let batch = RecordBatch::try_from_iter([("col", Arc::new(encoded) as _)]).unwrap();
//! let mut buf = Vec::with_capacity(1024);
//! let mut writer = LineDelimitedWriter::new(&mut buf);
//! writer.write(&batch).unwrap();
//! writer.finish().unwrap();
//!
//! // Read the JSON data
//! let cursor = Cursor::new(buf);
//! let mut reader = ReaderBuilder::new(batch.schema()).build(cursor).unwrap();
//! let batch = reader.next().unwrap().unwrap();
//!
//! // Reverse the base64 encoding
//! let col: BinaryArray = batch.column(0).as_string::<i32>().clone().into();
//! let output = b64_decode(&BASE64_STANDARD, &col).unwrap();
//!
//! assert_eq!(input, output);
//! ```
