/// A single CBOR data item.
///
/// `Value` covers all CBOR major types: integers, floats, byte and text
/// strings, arrays, maps, tagged values, and simple values (null, booleans).
/// It encodes deterministically and decodes only canonical input.
///
/// # Creating values
///
/// Rust primitives convert via [`From`]:
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::Value;
///
/// let n = Value::from(42);
/// let s = Value::from("hello");
/// let b = Value::from(true);
/// ```
///
/// For arrays and maps the `array!` and `map!` macros are convenient:
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::{Value, array, map};
///
/// let a = array![1, 2, 3];
/// let m = map! { "x" => 10, "y" => 20 };
/// ```
///
/// Arrays and maps can also be built from standard Rust collections.
/// Slices, `Vec`s, fixed-size arrays, `BTreeMap`s, `HashMap`s, and
/// slices of key-value pairs all convert automatically:
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::Value;
/// use std::collections::HashMap;
///
/// // Array from a slice
/// let a = Value::array([1, 2, 3].as_slice());
///
/// // Map from a HashMap
/// let mut hm = HashMap::new();
/// hm.insert(1, 2);
/// let m = Value::map(&hm);
///
/// // Map from key-value pairs
/// let m = Value::map([("x", 10), ("y", 20)]);
/// ```
///
/// Use `()` to create empty arrays or maps without spelling out a type:
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::Value;
///
/// let empty_array = Value::array(());
/// let empty_map = Value::map(());
///
/// assert_eq!(empty_array.as_array().unwrap().len(), 0);
/// assert_eq!(empty_map.as_map().unwrap().len(), 0);
/// ```
///
/// Named constructors are available for cases where `From` is ambiguous:
///
/// | Constructor | Builds |
/// |---|---|
/// | [`Value::null()`] | Null simple value |
/// | [`Value::simple_value(v)`](Value::simple_value) | Arbitrary simple value |
/// | [`Value::float(v)`](Value::float) | Float in shortest CBOR form |
/// | [`Value::array(v)`](Value::array) | Array from slice, `Vec`, or fixed-size array |
/// | [`Value::map(v)`](Value::map) | Map from `BTreeMap`, `HashMap`, slice of pairs, etc. |
/// | [`Value::tag(n, v)`](Value::tag) | Tagged value |
///
/// # Encoding and decoding
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::Value;
///
/// let original = Value::from(-1000);
/// let bytes = original.encode();
/// let decoded = Value::decode(&bytes).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(original, decoded);
/// ```
///
/// For streaming use, [`write_to`](Value::write_to) and
/// [`read_from`](Value::read_from) operate on any `io::Write` / `io::Read`.
///
/// # Accessors
///
/// Accessor methods extract or borrow the inner data of each variant.
/// All return `Result<T>`, yielding `Err(Error::IncompatibleType)` on a
/// type mismatch. The naming follows Rust conventions:
///
/// | Prefix | Meaning | Returns |
/// |---|---|---|
/// | `as_*` | Borrow inner data | `&T` or `&mut T` (with `_mut`) |
/// | `to_*` | Convert or narrow | Owned `Copy` type (`u8`, `f32`, ...) |
/// | `into_*` | Consume self, extract | Owned `T` |
/// | no prefix | Trivial property | `Copy` scalar |
///
/// ## Simple values
///
/// In CBOR, booleans and null are not distinct types but specific simple
/// values: `false` is 20, `true` is 21, `null` is 22. This means a
/// boolean value is always also a simple value. [`to_bool`](Self::to_bool)
/// provides typed access to `true`/`false`, while
/// [`to_simple_value`](Self::to_simple_value) works on any simple value
/// including booleans and null.
///
/// | Method | Returns | Notes |
/// |---|---|---|
/// | [`to_simple_value`](Self::to_simple_value) | `Result<u8>` | Raw simple value number |
/// | [`to_bool`](Self::to_bool) | `Result<bool>` | Only for `true`/`false` |
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::Value;
///
/// let v = Value::from(true);
/// assert_eq!(v.to_bool().unwrap(), true);
/// assert_eq!(v.to_simple_value().unwrap(), 21); // CBOR true = simple(21)
///
/// // null is also a simple value
/// let n = Value::null();
/// assert!(n.to_bool().is_err());              // not a boolean
/// assert_eq!(n.to_simple_value().unwrap(), 22); // but is simple(22)
/// ```
///
/// ## Integers
///
/// CBOR has effectively four integer types (unsigned or negative, and
/// normal or big integer) with different internal representations.
/// This is handled transparently by the API.
///
/// The `to_*` accessors perform checked
/// narrowing into any Rust integer type, returning `Err(Overflow)` if
/// the value does not fit, or `Err(NegativeUnsigned)` when extracting a
/// negative value into an unsigned type.
///
/// | Method | Returns |
/// |---|---|
/// | [`to_u8`](Self::to_u8) .. [`to_u128`](Self::to_u128), [`to_usize`](Self::to_usize) | `Result<uN>` |
/// | [`to_i8`](Self::to_i8) .. [`to_i128`](Self::to_i128), [`to_isize`](Self::to_isize) | `Result<iN>` |
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::Value;
///
/// let v = Value::from(1000);
/// assert_eq!(v.to_u32().unwrap(), 1000);
/// assert_eq!(v.to_i64().unwrap(), 1000);
/// assert!(v.to_u8().is_err()); // overflow
///
/// let neg = Value::from(-5);
/// assert_eq!(neg.to_i8().unwrap(), -5);
/// assert!(neg.to_u32().is_err()); // negative unsigned
/// ```
///
/// ## Floats
///
/// Floats are stored internally in their shortest CBOR encoding (`f16`,
/// `f32`, or `f64`). [`to_f64`](Self::to_f64) always succeeds since every
/// float can widen to `f64`. [`to_f32`](Self::to_f32) fails with
/// `Err(Precision)` if the value is stored as `f64`.
/// A float internally stored as `f16` can always be converted to either
/// an `f32` or `f64` for obvious reasons.
///
/// | Method | Returns |
/// |---|---|
/// | [`to_f32`](Self::to_f32) | `Result<f32>` (fails for f64 values) |
/// | [`to_f64`](Self::to_f64) | `Result<f64>` |
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::Value;
///
/// let v = Value::from(2.5);
/// assert_eq!(v.to_f64().unwrap(), 2.5);
/// assert_eq!(v.to_f32().unwrap(), 2.5);
/// ```
///
/// ## Byte strings
///
/// Byte strings are stored as `Vec<u8>`. Use [`as_bytes`](Self::as_bytes)
/// for a borrowed slice, or [`into_bytes`](Self::into_bytes) to take
/// ownership without copying.
///
/// | Method | Returns |
/// |---|---|
/// | [`as_bytes`](Self::as_bytes) | `Result<&[u8]>` |
/// | [`as_bytes_mut`](Self::as_bytes_mut) | `Result<&mut Vec<u8>>` |
/// | [`into_bytes`](Self::into_bytes) | `Result<Vec<u8>>` |
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::Value;
///
/// let mut v = Value::from(vec![1, 2, 3]);
/// v.as_bytes_mut().unwrap().push(4);
/// assert_eq!(v.as_bytes().unwrap(), &[1, 2, 3, 4]);
/// ```
///
/// ## Text strings
///
/// Text strings are stored as `String` (guaranteed valid UTF-8 by the
/// decoder). Use [`as_str`](Self::as_str) for a borrowed `&str`, or
/// [`into_string`](Self::into_string) to take ownership.
///
/// | Method | Returns |
/// |---|---|
/// | [`as_str`](Self::as_str) | `Result<&str>` |
/// | [`as_string_mut`](Self::as_string_mut) | `Result<&mut String>` |
/// | [`into_string`](Self::into_string) | `Result<String>` |
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::Value;
///
/// let v = Value::from("hello");
/// assert_eq!(v.as_str().unwrap(), "hello");
///
/// // Modify in place
/// let mut v = Value::from("hello");
/// v.as_string_mut().unwrap().push_str(" world");
/// assert_eq!(v.as_str().unwrap(), "hello world");
/// ```
///
/// ## Arrays
///
/// Arrays are stored as `Vec<Value>`. Use [`as_array`](Self::as_array)
/// to borrow the elements as a slice, or [`as_array_mut`](Self::as_array_mut)
/// to modify them in place.
///
/// | Method | Returns |
/// |---|---|
/// | [`as_array`](Self::as_array) | `Result<&[Value]>` |
/// | [`as_array_mut`](Self::as_array_mut) | `Result<&mut Vec<Value>>` |
/// | [`into_array`](Self::into_array) | `Result<Vec<Value>>` |
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::{Value, array};
///
/// let v = array![10, 20, 30];
/// let items = v.as_array().unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(items[1].to_u32().unwrap(), 20);
///
/// // Modify in place
/// let mut v = array![1, 2];
/// v.as_array_mut().unwrap().push(3.into());
/// assert_eq!(v.as_array().unwrap().len(), 3);
/// ```
///
/// ## Maps
///
/// Maps are stored as `BTreeMap<Value, Value>`, giving canonical key
/// order. Use standard `BTreeMap` methods on the result of
/// [`as_map`](Self::as_map) to look up entries.
///
/// | Method | Returns |
/// |---|---|
/// | [`as_map`](Self::as_map) | `Result<&BTreeMap<Value, Value>>` |
/// | [`as_map_mut`](Self::as_map_mut) | `Result<&mut BTreeMap<Value, Value>>` |
/// | [`into_map`](Self::into_map) | `Result<BTreeMap<Value, Value>>` |
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::{Value, map};
///
/// let v = map! { "name" => "Alice", "age" => 30 };
/// assert_eq!(v["name"].as_str().unwrap(), "Alice");
///
/// // Modify in place
/// let mut v = map! { "count" => 1 };
/// v.as_map_mut().unwrap().insert("count".into(), 2.into());
/// assert_eq!(v["count"].to_u32().unwrap(), 2);
/// ```
///
/// ## Indexing
///
/// Arrays and maps support `Index` and `IndexMut` with any type that
/// converts into `Value`. For arrays the index is converted to `usize`;
/// for maps it is used as a key lookup. Panics on type mismatch or
/// missing key, just like `Vec` and `BTreeMap`.
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::{Value, array, map};
///
/// let a = array![10, 20, 30];
/// assert_eq!(a[1].to_u32().unwrap(), 20);
///
/// let m = map! { "x" => 10, "y" => 20 };
/// assert_eq!(m["x"].to_u32().unwrap(), 10);
/// ```
///
/// ## Tags
///
/// A tag wraps another value with a numeric label (e.g. tag 1 for epoch
/// timestamps, tag 32 for URIs). Tags can be nested.
///
/// | Method | Returns | Notes |
/// |---|---|---|
/// | [`tag_number`](Self::tag_number) | `Result<u64>` | Tag number |
/// | [`tag_content`](Self::tag_content) | `Result<&Value>` | Borrowed content |
/// | [`tag_content_mut`](Self::tag_content_mut) | `Result<&mut Value>` | Mutable content |
/// | [`as_tag`](Self::as_tag) | `Result<(u64, &Value)>` | Both parts |
/// | [`as_tag_mut`](Self::as_tag_mut) | `Result<(u64, &mut Value)>` | Mutable content |
/// | [`into_tag`](Self::into_tag) | `Result<(u64, Value)>` | Consuming |
///
/// Use [`untagged`](Self::untagged) to look through tags without removing
/// them, [`remove_tag`](Self::remove_tag) to strip the outermost tag, or
/// [`remove_all_tags`](Self::remove_all_tags) to strip all layers at once.
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::Value;
///
/// // Create a tagged value (tag 32 = URI)
/// let mut uri = Value::tag(32, "https://example.com");
///
/// // Inspect
/// let (tag_num, content) = uri.as_tag().unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(tag_num, 32);
/// assert_eq!(content.as_str().unwrap(), "https://example.com");
///
/// // Look through tags without removing them
/// assert_eq!(uri.untagged().as_str().unwrap(), "https://example.com");
///
/// // Strip the tag in place
/// let removed = uri.remove_tag();
/// assert_eq!(removed, Some(32));
/// assert_eq!(uri.as_str().unwrap(), "https://example.com");
/// ```
///
/// Accessor methods see through tags transparently: calling `as_str()`
/// on a tagged text string works without manually unwrapping the tag
/// first. This applies to all accessors (`to_*`, `as_*`, `into_*`).
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::Value;
///
/// let uri = Value::tag(32, "https://example.com");
/// assert_eq!(uri.as_str().unwrap(), "https://example.com");
///
/// // Nested tags are also transparent
/// let nested = Value::tag(100, Value::tag(200, 42));
/// assert_eq!(nested.to_u32().unwrap(), 42);
/// ```
///
/// Big integers are internally represented as tagged byte strings
/// (tags 2 and 3). The integer accessors recognise these tags and
/// decode the bytes automatically, even when wrapped in additional
/// custom tags. Byte-level accessors like `as_bytes()` also see
/// through tags, so calling `as_bytes()` on a big integer returns
/// the raw payload bytes.
///
/// If a tag is removed via `remove_tag`, `remove_all_tags`, or by
/// consuming through `into_tag`, the value becomes a plain byte
/// string and can no longer be read as an integer.
///
/// # Type introspection
///
/// [`data_type`](Self::data_type) returns a [`DataType`] enum for
/// lightweight type checks without matching on the full enum.
///
/// ```
/// use cbor_core::Value;
///
/// let v = Value::from(3.14);
/// assert!(v.data_type().is_float());
