//! # SerializeFields
//!
//! A Rust procedural macro that enables **dynamic field selection** for struct serialization.
//! Control exactly which fields get serialized at runtime using a hierarchical field selector system.
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! - 🎯 **Dynamic Field Selection**: Choose which fields to serialize at runtime
//! - 🌳 **Hierarchical Selection**: Use dot notation for nested structs (`"user.profile.name"`)
//! - 🔧 **Type Safe**: Compile-time validation of field paths
//! - 🚀 **Zero Runtime Cost**: Only enabled fields are processed during serialization
//! - 📦 **Serde Integration**: Works seamlessly with the serde ecosystem
//! - 🔄 **Collection Support**: Handles `Vec`, `Option`, `HashMap`, and other containers
//! - 🏗️ **Generic Architecture**: Single trait-based serialization implementation
//!
//! ## Quick Start
//!
//! ```rust
//! use serialize_fields::{SerializeFields, SerializeFieldsTrait};
//! use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
//!
//! #[derive(SerializeFields, Serialize, Deserialize)]
//! struct User {
//! id: u32,
//! name: Option<String>,
//! email: Option<String>,
//! }
//!
//! let user = User {
//! id: 123,
//! name: Some("Alice".to_string()),
//! email: Some("alice@example.com".to_string()),
//! };
//!
//! // Create field selector using the trait method
//! let mut fields = user.serialize_fields();
//! fields.enable_dot_hierarchy("id");
//! fields.enable_dot_hierarchy("name");
//!
//! // Serialize with selected fields only
//! let json = serde_json::to_string(&SerializeFields(&user, &fields)).unwrap();
//! // Output: {"id":123,"name":"Alice"}
//! ```
//!
//! ## Advanced Usage
//!
//! ### Nested Structs
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use serialize_fields::{SerializeFields, SerializeFieldsTrait};
//! # use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
//! #[derive(SerializeFields, Serialize, Deserialize)]
//! struct User {
//! id: u32,
//! profile: UserProfile,
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(SerializeFields, Serialize, Deserialize)]
//! struct UserProfile {
//! bio: Option<String>,
//! avatar_url: Option<String>,
//! }
//!
//! # let user = User {
//! # id: 123,
//! # profile: UserProfile {
//! # bio: Some("Software Engineer".to_string()),
//! # avatar_url: Some("https://example.com/avatar.jpg".to_string()),
//! # },
//! # };
//! let mut fields = user.serialize_fields();
//! fields.enable_dot_hierarchy("id");
//! fields.enable_dot_hierarchy("profile.bio"); // Nested field selection
//!
//! let json = serde_json::to_string(&SerializeFields(&user, &fields)).unwrap();
//! // Output: {"id":123,"profile":{"bio":"Software Engineer"}}
//! ```
//!
//! ### Dynamic Field Selection
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use serialize_fields::{SerializeFields, SerializeFieldsTrait};
//! # use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
//! # #[derive(SerializeFields, Serialize, Deserialize)]
//! # struct User { id: u32, name: Option<String>, email: Option<String> }
//! # let user = User { id: 123, name: Some("Alice".to_string()), email: Some("alice@example.com".to_string()) };
//! fn serialize_user_with_fields(user: &User, requested_fields: &[&str]) -> String {
//! let mut selector = user.serialize_fields();
//!
//! for field in requested_fields {
//! selector.enable_dot_hierarchy(field);
//! }
//!
//! serde_json::to_string(&SerializeFields(user, &selector)).unwrap()
//! }
//!
//! // Usage: GET /users/123?fields=id,name
//! let fields = vec!["id", "name"];
//! let json = serialize_user_with_fields(&user, &fields);
//! ```
// Re-export the derive macro
pub use SerializeFields;
/// Trait for types that can provide field selectors for dynamic serialization.
///
/// This trait is automatically implemented by the `#[derive(SerializeFields)]` macro
/// and provides both field selector creation and serialization functionality.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```rust
/// # use serialize_fields::{SerializeFields as SerializeFieldsDerive, SerializeFieldsTrait};
/// # use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
/// #[derive(SerializeFieldsDerive, Serialize, Deserialize)]
/// struct User {
/// id: u32,
/// name: String,
/// }
///
/// # let user = User { id: 1, name: "Alice".to_string() };
/// // Create a field selector using the trait method
/// let mut fields = user.serialize_fields();
/// fields.enable_dot_hierarchy("id");
/// fields.enable_dot_hierarchy("name");
/// ```
