/// ```
/// use musli::context;
/// use musli::json::Encoding;
/// use musli::{Encode, Decode};
///
/// #[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Encode, Decode)]
/// struct Person {
///     name: String,
///     age: u32,
/// }
///
/// let cx = context::new().with_trace();
/// let encoding = Encoding::new();
/// let mut data = Vec::new();
/// encoding.encode_with(&cx, &mut data, &Person {
///     name: "Aristotle".to_string(),
///     age: 61,
/// })?;
/// let person: Person = encoding.from_slice_with(&cx, &data)?;
/// assert_eq!(person.name, "Aristotle");
/// assert_eq!(person.age, 61);

/// let err = encoding.from_str_with::<_, Person>(&cx, "not valid json").unwrap_err();
/// let report = cx.report();
/// println!("{report}");
