// gamlastan xml deserialization trait and support.

// The SamlDeserialize trait provides zero-copy deserialization from an
// uppsala Document into borrowed SAML types (FooRef<'a>).

/// Zero-copy deserialization from an uppsala Document.
///
/// Implementors produce borrowed SAML types whose string fields
/// reference data directly in the XML document buffer, avoiding allocations.
///
/// # Lifetime
///
/// The lifetime `'a` ties the deserialized type to the Document and the
/// original XML string it was parsed from.

    ///
    /// * `doc` - The parsed XML document.
    /// * `node` - The node ID of the element to deserialize from.
