//! Serializing/deserializing a [`chain_information::ChainInformation`].
//!
//! This module contains the [`encode_chain_storage`] and [`decode_chain`] functions that can turn
//! a [`chain_information::ChainInformation`] into a string and back, with optionally the state of
//! the finalized block.
//! With no finalized block storage, the string is expected to be in the order of magnitude of a
//! few dozens kilobytes.
//!
//! The string format designed to be stable even if the structure of
//! [`chain_information::ChainInformation`] is later modified.
//!
//! This feature is expected to be used for example by light clients in order to easily (but
//! inefficiently) store the state of the finalized chain somewhere and later reload it.
