//! Native JSON C ABI for benchmark runners.
//!
//! This module provides the implementation behind the stable native backend
//! contract. Benchmark crates can export the C symbols with
//! [`crate::export_native_c_abi!`], then generated Android/iOS apps can pass a
//! serialized [`crate::BenchSpec`] JSON payload and receive a serialized
//! [`crate::RunnerReport`] JSON payload without using UniFFI-generated bindings.
