//! Example: Serde serialization of a real X.509 certificate
//!
//! This example loads `tests/vectors/test_certificate.pem` from the repository root,
//! parses it with synta into an ASN.1 `Element` tree, serializes the tree
//! to JSON using serde, then deserializes the JSON back into a
//! `serde_json::Value` and prints both trees for comparison.
//!
//! Note: `Element<'a>` carries borrowed slices from the original DER buffer
//! and therefore cannot implement `Deserialize`. `serde_json::Value` is used
//! as the round-trip target instead.
//!
//! Run with:
//!   cargo run --example serde_cert --features serde
