// Copyright Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.

//! Provides basic bindings for [Ion C](https://github.com/amzn/ion-c)
//!
//! These bindings are created with `bindgen` and are considerably low-level.
//!
//! ## Examples
//! Using `ion-c-sys` directly can be a pretty verbose affair, and requires checking the
//! error code for most calls.  This crate provides the [`result`](result/index.html)
//! module to make it easier to integrate with `std::result::Result` with respect
//! to the `iERR` that Ion C functions generally return.  Specifically, any low-level
//! IonC function that returns `iERR` should be called with the [`ionc!`][ionc-call] macro
//! to facilitate `Result<(), IonCError>` conversion.
//!
//! This library provides smart pointers over the low-level reader/writer pointers, and should
//! generally be used, especially with `Result` handling code.  These types provide some facade
//! over Ion C, but only for the most generally used APIs. See:
//!
//! * [IonCReaderHandle][reader-handle]
//! * [IonCWriterHandle][writer-handle]
//!
//! [ionc-call]: macro.ionc.html
//! [reader-handle]: reader/struct.IonCReaderHandle.html
//! [writer-handle]: writer/struct.IonCWriterHandle.html
//!
//! ### Ion Reader
//! Here is an end-to-end example of reading some Ion data.
//!
//! ```
//! # use std::ptr;
//! # use std::slice;
//! # use std::str;
//! # use std::convert::TryFrom;
//! # use ion_c_sys::*;
//! # use ion_c_sys::reader::*;
//! # use ion_c_sys::result::*;
//! # fn main() -> IonCResult<()> {
//! let mut reader = IonCReaderHandle::try_from("{a:2}")?;
//!
//! // step to the struct
//! assert_eq!(ION_TYPE_STRUCT, reader.next()?);
//! // step into the struct
//! reader.step_in()?;
//! // step to the field
//! assert_eq!(ION_TYPE_INT, reader.next()?);
//! // retrieve the field name
//! assert_eq!("a", reader.get_field_name()?.as_str());
//! // read the integer value
//! assert_eq!(2, reader.read_i64()?);
//! // step to the end of the struct
//! assert_eq!(ION_TYPE_EOF, reader.next()?);
//! // step out of the struct
//! reader.step_out()?;
//! // step to the end of the stream
//! assert_eq!(ION_TYPE_EOF, reader.next()?);
//!
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
