//! Traits and implementations for writing structured binary data.
//!
//! The `writable` module provides the core trait system that enables ByteCraft
//! to serialize complex data structures to binary streams. It defines how types
//! should be converted to byte sequences and includes implementations for
//! common Rust types.
//!
//! # Core Concepts
//!
//! ## Writable Trait
//!
//! The [`Writable`] trait is the foundation of ByteCraft's serialization system.
//! Any type that implements `Writable` can be written to a [`WriteStream`] using
//! the [ByteWriter::write()](crate::writer::ByteWriter::write) method.
//!
//! ## Composition and Nesting
//!
//! `Writable` implementations can compose other `Writable` types, enabling
//! complex nested structures:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use bytecraft::{
//!     writer::{ByteWriter, WriteStream},
//!     writable::Writable,
//!     error::Result
//! };
//!
//! #[derive(Debug)]
//! struct Header {
//!     magic: u32,
//!     version: u16,
//! };
//!
//! impl Writable for Header {
//!     fn write<T>(mut stream: WriteStream<T>, val: &Self) -> Result<()>
//!     where
//!         T: AsRef<[u8]> + AsMut<[u8]>,
//!     {
//!         stream.write(&val.magic)?;    // Writes u32
//!         stream.write(&val.version)?;  // Writes u16
//!         Ok(())
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(Debug)]
//! struct File {
//!     header: Header,      // Nested Writable type
//!     data: Vec<u8>,       // Another Writable type
//! };
//!
//! impl Writable for File {
//!     fn write<T>(mut stream: WriteStream<T>, val: &Self) -> Result<()>
//!     where
//!         T: AsRef<[u8]> + AsMut<[u8]>,
//!     {
//!         stream.write(&val.header)?;              // Composes Header
//!         stream.write(&(val.data.len() as u32))?; // Writes length
//!         stream.write(&val.data)?;                // Writes data
//!         Ok(())
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Built-in Implementations
//!
//! ByteCraft provides `Writable` implementations for many standard types:
//!
//! ## Primitive Types
//!
//! All numeric primitives support endianness-aware writing:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use bytecraft::{writer::ByteWriter, common::Endian};
//!
//! let mut buffer = [0u8; 4];
//! let mut writer = ByteWriter::with_endian(&mut buffer[..], Endian::Big);
//!
//! let value: u32 = 0x12345678;
//! writer.write(&value).unwrap();
//!
//! // Buffer now contains [0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78]
//! assert_eq!(&buffer, &[0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78]);
//! ```
//!
//! ## Arrays
//!
//! Fixed-size arrays where elements implement `Writable`:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use bytecraft::writer::ByteWriter;
//!
//! let mut buffer = [0u8; 5];
//! let mut writer = ByteWriter::new(&mut buffer[..]);
//!
//! let array: [u8; 3] = [1, 2, 3];
//! writer.write(&array).unwrap();
//!
//! assert_eq!(&buffer[..3], &[1, 2, 3]);
//! ```
//!
//! ## Tuples
//!
//! Tuples up to 13 elements support structured writing:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use bytecraft::writer::ByteWriter;
//!
//! let mut buffer = [0u8; 4];
//! let mut writer = ByteWriter::new(&mut buffer[..]);
//!
//! let tuple: (u8, u16) = (1, 0x0203u16);
//! writer.write(&tuple).unwrap();
//!
//! // Assuming little endian: [1, 3, 2, 0]
//! ```
//!
//! ## Collections
//!
//! Standard collections with length-prefixing:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use bytecraft::writer::ByteWriter;
//!
//! let mut buffer = vec![0u8; 1024];
//! let mut writer = ByteWriter::new(&mut buffer[..]);
//!
//! // String with length prefix
//! let string = "Hello".to_string();
//! writer.write(&string).unwrap();
//!
//! // Vec with length prefix
//! let vec: Vec<u32> = vec![1, 2, 3];
//! writer.write(&vec).unwrap();
//! ```
//!
//! # Custom Implementation Guide
//!
//! To make your type `Writable`, implement the trait:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use bytecraft::{
//!     writer::{ByteWriter, WriteStream},
//!     writable::Writable,
//!     error::Result
//! };
//!
//! #[derive(Debug)]
//! struct Point {
//!     x: f32,
//!     y: f32,
//! }
//!
//! impl Writable for Point {
//!     fn write<T>(mut stream: WriteStream<T>, val: &Self) -> Result<()>
//!     where
//!         T: AsRef<[u8]> + AsMut<[u8]>,
//!     {
//!         stream.write(&val.x)?;
//!         stream.write(&val.y)?;
//!         Ok(())
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! // Usage
//! fn main() -> Result<()> {
//!     let point = Point { x: 1.0, y: 2.0 };
//!     let mut buffer = [0u8; 8];
//!     let mut writer = ByteWriter::new(&mut buffer[..]);
//!     writer.write(&point)?;
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Safety Considerations
//!
//! Implementations must ensure that:
//! - All writes are properly bounds-checked
//! - Memory safety is maintained
//! - Errors are propagated appropriately
//! - The stream position is advanced correctly
//! - The implementation does not cause recursion

/// A trait for types that can be written to a binary stream.
///
/// The `Writable` trait defines how a type should be serialized to a
/// sequence of bytes. Implementations receive a [`WriteStream`] that provides
/// access to the underlying buffer and handles position management.
///
/// # Safety
///
/// Implementations must ensure that:
/// - All writes are properly bounds-checked
/// - Memory safety is maintained
/// - The stream position is advanced by exactly the number of bytes written
/// - Errors are propagated appropriately
/// - The implementation does not cause recursion
///
/// # Composition
///
/// `Writable` implementations can compose other `Writable` types, enabling
/// complex nested structures to be written seamlessly.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ## Simple Implementation
///
/// ```rust
/// use bytecraft::{
///     writer::WriteStream,
///     writable::Writable,
///     error::Result
/// };
///
/// struct SimpleStruct {
///     id: u32,
///     flag: bool,
/// }
///
/// impl Writable for SimpleStruct {
///     fn write<T>(mut stream: WriteStream<T>, val: &Self) -> Result<()>
///     where
///         T: AsRef<[u8]> + AsMut<[u8]>,
///     {
///         stream.write(&val.id)?;
///         stream.write(&val.flag)?;
///         Ok(())
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// ## Complex Implementation with Custom Logic
///
/// ```rust
/// use bytecraft::{
///     writer::WriteStream,
///     writable::Writable,
///     error::{Result, Error}
/// };
///
/// struct LengthPrefixedData {
///     data: Vec<u8>,
/// }
///
/// impl Writable for LengthPrefixedData {
///     fn write<T>(mut stream: WriteStream<T>, val: &Self) -> Result<()>
///     where
///         T: AsRef<[u8]> + AsMut<[u8]>,
///     {
///         if val.data.len() > u32::MAX as usize {
///             return Err(Error::NotValid);
///         }
///         
///         stream.write(&(val.data.len() as u32))?;
///         stream.write_exact(&val.data)?;
///         Ok(())
///     }
/// }
/// ```
