//! # easy-tree
//!
//! `easy-tree` is a lightweight library for creating and manipulating tree structures in Rust.
//! It provides a simple and efficient interface for managing hierarchical data and supports
//! **depth-first traversal** with pre- and post-processing callbacks for flexible operations.
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! - **Simple API**: Easily create, add, and retrieve nodes in the tree.
//! - **Depth-first traversal**: Recursively traverse the tree with callbacks before and after processing subtrees.
//! - **Flexible node access**: Access parent-child relationships and modify node data.
//! - **Optional parallel iteration**: Speed up iteration with [rayon](https://docs.rs/rayon) when enabled.
//!
//! ## Use Cases
//!
//! `easy-tree` is ideal for representing and traversing hierarchical data, such as:
//! - **File systems**
//! - **Organizational charts**
//! - **Abstract syntax trees (ASTs)**
//! - **Graph-like structures with one parent per node**
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ## 1. Basic Tree Operations
//! ```rust
//!  use easy_tree::Tree;
//!
//!  let mut tree = Tree::new();
//!  let root = tree.add_node("root");
//!  let child1 = tree.add_child(root, "child1");
//!  let child2 = tree.add_child(root, "child2");
//!  let grandchild = tree.add_child(child1, "grandchild");
//!
//!  assert_eq!(tree.get(root), Some(&"root"));
//!  assert_eq!(tree.get(grandchild), Some(&"grandchild"));
//!  assert_eq!(tree.children(root), &[child1, child2]);
//!  assert_eq!(tree.parent_index_unchecked(grandchild), Some(child1));
//! ```
//!
//! ## 2. Depth-First Traversal
//! Process nodes before and after their children using callbacks.
//!
//! ```rust
//!  use easy_tree::Tree;
//!
//!  let mut tree = Tree::new();
//!  let root = tree.add_node("root");
//!  let child1 = tree.add_child(root, "child1");
//!  let child2 = tree.add_child(root, "child2");
//!
//!  let mut result = vec![];
//!  tree.traverse(
//!     |idx, data, result| result.push(format!("Entering node {}: {}", idx, data)),
//!     |idx, data, result| result.push(format!("Leaving node {}: {}", idx, data)),
//!     &mut result,
//!  );
//!
//!  assert_eq!(result, vec![
//!     "Entering node 0: root",
//!     "Entering node 1: child1",
//!     "Leaving node 1: child1",
//!     "Entering node 2: child2",
//!     "Leaving node 2: child2",
//!     "Leaving node 0: root",
//!  ]);
//! ```
//!
//! ## 3. Iteration
//!
//! Iterate over nodes and modify their data.
//!
//! ```rust
//!  use easy_tree::Tree;
//!
//!  let mut tree = Tree::new();
//!  let root = tree.add_node(0);
//!  let child1 = tree.add_child(root, 1);
//!  let child2 = tree.add_child(root, 2);
//!
//!  for (idx, data) in tree.iter_mut() {
//!     *data += 10;
//!  }
//!
//!  assert_eq!(tree.get(root), Some(&10));
//!  assert_eq!(tree.get(child1), Some(&11));
//!  assert_eq!(tree.get(child2), Some(&12));
//! ```
//!
//! ## 4. Parallel Iteration (Optional)
//!
//! Use the `rayon` feature for parallel processing of nodes.
//!
//! ```rust
//! #[cfg(feature = "rayon")]
//! use easy_tree::Tree;
//! #[cfg(feature = "rayon")]
//! use rayon::prelude::*;
//!
//! #[cfg(feature = "rayon")]
//! fn main() {
//!     let mut tree = Tree::new();
//!     let root = tree.add_node(0);
//!     tree.add_child(root, 1);
//!     tree.add_child(root, 2);
//!
//!     tree.par_iter().for_each(|(idx, data)| {
//!         println!("Processing node {}: {}", idx, data);
//!     });
//! }
//!
//! #[cfg(not(feature = "rayon"))]
//! fn main() {}
//! ```
//!
//! ## API Overview
//!
//! - `Tree<T>`: Represents the tree structure containing nodes of type `T`.
//! - `Node<T>`: Represents a single node in the tree.
//! - `Tree::add_node(data: T) -> usize`: Adds a new root node.
//! - `Tree::add_child(parent: usize, data: T) -> usize`: Adds a child node to a parent.
//! - `Tree::traverse`: Walks the tree recursively with customizable callbacks.
//! - `Tree::iter` / `Tree::iter_mut`: Provides immutable and mutable iterators over the nodes.
//!
