//! Electron's Super Simple RPC (ESSRPC) is a lightweight RPC library
//! which aims to enable RPC calls as transparently as possible
//! through calls to ordinary trait methods.
//!
//! The magic is performed by the `essrpc` attribute macro which may
//! be applied to any trait whose functions each meet the following conditions:
//! * Returns a `Result` whose error type implements `From<RPCError>`.
//! * Uses only parameter and returns types which implement `Serialize`
//! * Is not unsafe
//!
//! The `essrpc` macro generates for a trait an RPC client and a
//! server. For a trait named `Foo`, the macro will generate
//! `FooRPCClient` which implements both
//! [RPCClient](trait.RPCClient.html) and `Foo` as well as
//! `FooRPCServer` which implements [RPCServer](trait.RPCServer.html).
//!
//! # Examples
//! A trait can apply the `essrpc` attribute like this.
//! ```ignore
//! #[essrpc]
//! pub trait Foo {
//!    fn bar(&self, a: String, b: i32) -> Result<String, SomeError>;
//! }
//! ```
//! For example purposes, assume we're using a unix socket to
//! communicate between a parent and child process. Anything else
//! implementing `Read+Write` would work just as well.
//! ```
//! # use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;
//! let (s1, s2) = UnixStream::pair().unwrap();
//! ```
//!
//! We can spin up a server like this
//! ```ignore
//! let mut s = FooRPCServer::new(FooImpl::new(), BincodeTransport::new(s2));
//! s.serve()
//! ```
//! Then, if we have some type `FooImpl` which implements `Foo`, we can do RPC like this.
//! ```ignore
//! let client = FooRPCClient::new(BincodeTransport::new(s1));
//! match client.bar("the answer".to_string(), 42) {
//!     Ok(result) => assert_eq!("the answer is 42", result),
//!     Err(e) => panic!("error: {:?}", e)
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Asynchronous Clients
//!
//! By default, the `#[essrpc]` attribute generates a synchronous
//! client.  Asynchronous clients can be generated via
//! `#[essrpc(async)]`, or `#[essrpc(sync, async)]` if both
//! synchronous and asynchronous clients are needed. For asynchronous,
//! the macro generates a new trait, suffixed with `Async` for which
//! every method returns a boxed `Future` instead of a `Result`, with
//! the same success and error types, and a type implementing
//! `AsyncRPCClient`. For example,
//!
//! ```ignore
//! #[essrpc(async)]
//! pub trait Foo {
//!    fn bar(&self, a: String, b: i32) -> Result<String, SomeError>;
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Would generate a `FooAsync` trait with a `bar` method returning
//! `Box<Future<Item=String, Error=SomeError>>` and a
//! `FooAsyncRPCClient` struct implementing both `FooAsync` and
//! [AsyncRPCClient](trait.AsyncRPCClient.html).
//!

// We do not do doctests on the examples above because with all the
// macros and generated code, it is simply too much effort to get things working.
