//! This crate provides an easy to use API to store persistent data of the same type.
//!
//! Any type that is able to be deserialized or serialized using Serde can be stored on disk.
//! Data is stored on disk with a CRC32 checksum associated with every document to ensure
//! data integrity. All data is written in little endian and each document is deserialized into bytes
//! via `bincode` when writing to file.
//!
//! The client has two modes: append mode and overwrite mode (non-append mode). Append mode appends
//! data to the original file when any of the write methods are called while overwrite mode overwrites
//! data in the file with new data provided.
//!
//! This crate is meant for storing small serializable data that stores the state of an application
//! after exit. Since all the data is loaded
//! onto memory when calling load on a `Client<T>`, handling large amounts of data is not advised. However,
//! the data stored on disk has a relatively small footprint and should not take up that much space.
//!
//! Note that this is not an embedded database and there are other libraries which are better suited
//! for this task, such as `sled`:
//! <https://github.com/spacejam/sled>
//!
//! # Note
//!
//! This documentation uses terminology derived from document-oriented databases (e.g. MongoDB)
//! such as "document" or "collection".
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use crio::Client;
//! use serde_derive::{Deserialize, Serialize};
//!
//! #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
//! struct Message {
//! id: usize,
//! message: String,
//! }
//!
//! let msg1 = Message {
//! id: 1,
//! message: "Hello there, you suck".to_string(),
//! };
//! let msg2 = Message {
//! id: 2,
//! message: "No you".to_string(),
//! };
//! let msg3 = Message {
//! id: 3,
//! message: "You both suck".to_string(),
//! };
//! let messages = vec![msg1, msg2, msg3];
//! let client: Client<Message> = Client::new("messages", false)?; // If no file is found, a new empty file is created.
//! client.write_many(&messages)?; // If no file is found, a new file is created and then written to. Append is set to false such that it overwrites any previous value stored on the same file
//! let returned_messages = client.load()?;
//! if let Some(data) = returned_messages {
//! assert_eq!(messages, data);
//! } else {
//! panic!("File is empty");
//! }
//! ```
