/// Trait for creating default values during Fory deserialization.
///
/// `ForyDefault` is similar to Rust's standard `Default` trait but specifically designed
/// for Fory's serialization framework. It provides a way to create "null" or default
/// values when deserializing optional or nullable types.
///
/// # Why not use `Default`?
///
/// We can't add a blanket implementation `impl<T: Default> ForyDefault for T` because
/// it would conflict with potential future implementations in upstream crates. For example,
/// the standard library might add `impl Default for Rc<dyn Any>` in the future, which would
/// cause a trait coherence conflict.
///
/// # When to implement
///
/// You should implement `ForyDefault` when:
/// - Creating custom types that can be serialized with Fory
/// - Your type needs to support nullable/optional representations
/// - You want to define what the "null" or "default" value means for deserialization
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use fory_core::ForyDefault;
///
/// #[derive(Debug, PartialEq)]
/// struct Point {
///     x: i32,
///     y: i32,
/// }
///
/// impl ForyDefault for Point {
///     fn fory_default() -> Self {
///         Point { x: 0, y: 0 }
///     }
/// }
///
/// let default_point = Point::fory_default();
/// assert_eq!(default_point, Point { x: 0, y: 0 });
/// ```
///
/// For types that already implement `Default`, you can simply delegate:
///
/// ```
/// use fory_core::ForyDefault;
///
/// #[derive(Default)]
/// struct Config {
///     timeout: u32,
///     retries: u32,
/// }
///
/// impl ForyDefault for Config {
///     fn fory_default() -> Self {
///         Default::default()
///     }
/// }
/// ```
pub trait ForyDefault: Sized {
    /// Creates a default value for this type.
    ///
    /// This is used by Fory when deserializing null values or when a default
    /// instance is needed during the deserialization process.
    fn fory_default() -> Self;
}

// We can't add blanket impl for all T: Default because it conflicts with other impls.
// For example, upstream crates may add a new impl of trait `std::default::Default` for
// type `std::rc::Rc<(dyn std::any::Any + 'static)>` in future versions.
// impl<T: Default + Sized> ForyDefault for T {
//     fn fory_default() -> Self {
//         Default::default()
//     }
// }

/// Core trait for Fory serialization and deserialization.
///
/// `Serializer` is the primary trait that enables types to be serialized and deserialized
/// using Fory's high-performance cross-language protocol. All types that can be serialized
/// with Fory must implement this trait, either manually or via the `#[derive(ForyObject)]` macro.
///
/// # Architecture Overview
///
/// Fory's serialization consists of three main phases:
///
/// 1. **Reference tracking** (optional): Writes/reads null/not-null/ref flags for handling
///    shared references and circular references
/// 2. **Type information** (optional): Writes/reads type metadata for polymorphic types
/// 3. **Data serialization**: Writes/reads the actual data payload
///
/// # Method Categories
///
/// ## Methods Users Must Implement (for custom serialization logic)
///
/// - [`fory_write_data`]: Core method to serialize your type's data
/// - [`fory_read_data`]: Core method to deserialize your type's data
/// - [`fory_type_id_dyn`]: Return runtime type ID for the instance
/// - [`as_any`]: Downcast support for dynamic dispatch
///
/// ## Methods Implemented by Fory (override only if needed)
///
/// Most methods have default implementations suitable for common types:
///
/// - [`fory_write`]: Entry point for serialization (handles ref/type info)
/// - [`fory_read`]: Entry point for deserialization (handles ref/type info)
/// - [`fory_write_type_info`]: Write type metadata
/// - [`fory_read_type_info`]: Read type metadata
/// - [`fory_write_data_generic`]: Write data with generics support (for collections)
/// - [`fory_read_with_type_info`]: Deserialize with pre-read type info
///
/// ## Type Query Methods
///
/// These provide compile-time and runtime type information:
///
/// - [`fory_static_type_id`]: Static type ID (defaults to TypeId::EXT for user types)
/// - [`fory_get_type_id`]: Get registered type ID from TypeResolver
/// - [`fory_concrete_type_id`]: Get Rust's std::any::TypeId
/// - [`fory_is_option`]: Check if type is `Option<T>`
/// - [`fory_is_none`]: Check if instance is None (for Option types)
/// - [`fory_is_polymorphic`]: Check if type supports polymorphism
/// - [`fory_is_shared_ref`]: Check if type is Rc/Arc
/// - [`fory_reserved_space`]: Hint for buffer pre-allocation
///
/// # Typical Usage Pattern
///
/// For types that need custom serialization logic (EXT types), you only need to implement four methods:
///
/// ```rust,ignore
/// impl Serializer for MyType {
///     fn fory_write_data(&self, context: &mut WriteContext) -> Result<(), Error> {
///         // Write your type's fields
///     }
///
///     fn fory_read_data(context: &mut ReadContext) -> Result<Self, Error> {
///         // Read your type's fields
///     }
///
///     fn fory_type_id_dyn(&self, type_resolver: &TypeResolver) -> Result<fory_core::TypeId, Error> {
///         Self::fory_get_type_id(type_resolver)
///     }
///
///     fn as_any(&self) -> &dyn Any {
///         self
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// # Derive Macro
///
/// For struct types, you can use the `#[derive(ForyObject)]` macro instead of implementing manually:
///
/// ```rust,ignore
/// #[derive(ForyObject)]
/// struct Point {
///     x: f64,
///     y: f64,
/// }
/// ```

    /// 4. **Error handling**: Propagate errors with `?`; don't swallow them
    /// 5. **Performance**: Minimize allocations; write directly to the buffer
    ///
    /// # Common Patterns
    ///
    /// ```rust,ignore

    /// context.writer.write_i32(self.count);

    /// deserialization scenarios where the runtime type differs from the static type.
    ///
    /// # Parameters
    ///
    /// * `ref_mode` - Controls how reference flags are read (see [`fory_read`])
    /// * `type_info` - Type information that has already been read ahead. DO NOT read type info again from buffer.
    ///
    /// # Important
    ///
    /// **DO NOT** read type info from the buffer in this method. The `type_info` parameter
    /// contains the already-read type metadata. Reading it again will cause buffer position errors.
    ///
    /// # Default Implementation

    /// 3. **No metadata reading**: Don't read ref flags or type info; that's handled by [`fory_read`]
    /// 4. **Use Serializer for nested types**: Leverage existing implementations
    /// 5. **Handle errors gracefully**: Return descriptive errors for invalid data
    ///
    /// # Common Patterns
    ///
    /// ```rust,ignore
    /// // Reading primitives
    /// let count = context.reader.read_i32()?;
    ///
    /// // Reading nested Serializer types
    /// let nested = T::fory_read(context, false, false)?;

    /// let items = Vec::<T>::fory_read(context, false, false)?;
    ///
    /// // Reading optional types
    /// let optional = Option::<T>::fory_read(context, true, false)?;
    /// ```
    ///
    /// # Error Handling
    ///
    /// Return errors for:
    ///
    /// - **Buffer underflow**: Not enough data to read
    /// - **Invalid data**: Data doesn't match expected format
    /// - **Version mismatch**: Incompatible serialization format

/// Extended trait for struct and enum serialization.
///
/// `StructSerializer` extends [`Serializer`] with capabilities specific to struct and enum types,
/// including field metadata, schema evolution, and compatibility features. This trait is used
/// internally by Fory and automatically implemented by the derive macro.
///
/// # ⚠️ Important: Do NOT Implement This for Custom User Types
///
/// **User types with custom serialization should NOT implement this trait.** This trait is:
///
/// - **Only for derive-based types**: Automatically implemented by `#[derive(ForyObject)]`
/// - **Internal infrastructure**: Used by Fory's struct/enum deserialization engine
/// - **Not for manual implementation**: Unless you're extending Fory's core functionality
///
/// For user types that need custom serialization logic (EXT types), implement only the [`Serializer`] trait.
///
/// # Purpose
///
/// This trait enables Fory's advanced struct/enum features:
///
/// - **Field introspection**: Access to struct field metadata for serialization
/// - **Schema evolution**: Forward and backward compatibility for struct/enum changes
/// - **Compatible deserialization**: Read structs with different field sets (added/removed fields)
/// - **Type indexing**: Efficient type lookup for struct/enum types
/// - **Hash-based identification**: Support for versioned struct schemas
///
/// # Automatic Implementation
///
/// The `#[derive(ForyObject)]` macro automatically implements this trait for structs and enums:
///
/// ```rust,ignore
/// #[derive(ForyObject)]
/// struct Point {
///     x: f64,
///     y: f64,
/// }
/// // StructSerializer is automatically implemented
/// // Users should never implement this manually for custom serialization
/// ```
///
/// # Usage by Fory
///
/// Fory uses this trait internally for:
///
/// - **Struct serialization**: Writing field metadata and data
/// - **Enum serialization**: Writing variant information
/// - **Compatible reads**: Handling schema evolution scenarios
/// - **Type registration**: Managing struct/enum type metadata
///
/// # Implementation Notes
///
/// - **Do not implement manually** for user types with custom serialization (EXT types)
/// - **Only via derive macro**: `#[derive(ForyObject)]` is the only supported way
/// - **Internal use only**: Methods are called by Fory's serialization engine
/// - **Schema evolution**: Enables adding/removing fields without breaking compatibility
///
