//! ## Simple & Performant Zero-Copy Serialization
//! Performance of Protocol Buffers with flexibility of JSON
//! 
//! [Github](https://github.com/ClickSimply/NoProto) | [Crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/no_proto) | [Documentation](https://docs.rs/no_proto)
//! 
//! ### Features  
//! - Zero dependencies
//! - Zero copy deserialization
//! - `no_std` support, WASM ready
//! - Native byte-wise sorting
//! - Extensive Documentation & Testing
//! - Easily mutate, add or delete values in existing buffers
//! - Schemas allow default values and non destructive updates
//! - Supports most common native data types
//! - Supports collection types (list, map, table & tuple)
//! - Supports deep nesting of collection types
//! - Easy and performant export to JSON.
//! - [Thoroughly documented](https://docs.rs/no_proto/latest/no_proto/format/index.html) & simple data storage format
//! - Panic/unwrap() free, this library will never cause a panic in your application.
//! 
//! NoProto allows you to store, read & mutate structured data with very little overhead. It's like Protocol Buffers except buffers and schemas are dynamic at runtime.  It's like JSON but way faster, type safe and supports native types.
//! 
//! Also unlike Protocol Buffers you can insert values in any order and values can later be removed or updated without rebuilding the whole buffer.
//! 
//! Byte-wise sorting comes in the box and is a first class operation. Two NoProto buffers can be compared at the byte level *without deserializing* and a correct ordering between the buffer's internal values will be the result.  This is extremely useful for storing ordered keys in databases. 
//! 
//! *Compared to Protocol Buffers*
//! - Similar serialization & deserialization performance
//! - Updating buffers is orders of magnitude faster
//! - Easier & Simpler API
//! - Schemas are dynamic at runtime, no compilation step
//! - Supports more types and better nested type support
//! - Byte-wise sorting is first class operation
//! - Mutate (add/delete/update) existing/imported buffers
//! 
//! *Compared to JSON / BSON*
//! - Far more space efficient
//! - Significantly faster serialization & deserialization
//! - Deserializtion is zero copy
//! - Has schemas / type safe
//! - Supports byte-wise sorting
//! - Supports raw bytes & other native types
//! 
//! 
//! *Compared to Serde*
//! - Supports byte-wise sorting
//! - Objects & schemas are dynamic at runtime
//! - Deserializtion is zero copy
//! - Language agnostic
//!

//! # Quick Example
//! ```rust
//! use no_proto::error::NP_Error;
//! use no_proto::NP_Factory;
//! use no_proto::collection::table::NP_Table;
//! 
//! // JSON is used to describe schema for the factory
//! // Each factory represents a single schema
//! // One factory can be used to serialize/deserialize any number of buffers
//! let user_factory = NP_Factory::new(r#"{
//!     "type": "table",
//!     "columns": [
//!         ["name",   {"type": "string"}],
//!         ["age",    {"type": "u16", "default": 0}],
//!         ["tags",   {"type": "list", "of": {
//!             "type": "string"
//!         }}]
//!     ]
//! }"#)?;
//! 
//! 
//! // create a new empty buffer
//! let mut user_buffer = user_factory.empty_buffer(None); // optional capacity, optional address size (u16 by default)
//! 
//! // set an internal value of the buffer, set the  "name" column
//! user_buffer.set(&["name"], "Billy Joel")?;
//! 
//! // assign nested internal values, sets the first tag element
//! user_buffer.set(&["tags", "0"], "first tag")?;
//! 
//! // get an internal value of the buffer from the "name" column
//! let name = user_buffer.get::<&str>(&["name"])?;
//! assert_eq!(name, Some("Billy Joel"));
//! 
//! // close buffer and get internal bytes
//! let user_bytes: Vec<u8> = user_buffer.close();
//! 
//! // open the buffer again
//! let user_buffer = user_factory.open_buffer(user_bytes);
//! 
//! // get nested internal value, first tag from the tag list
//! let tag = user_buffer.get::<&str>(&["tags", "0"])?;
//! assert_eq!(tag, Some("first tag"));
//! 
//! // get nested internal value, the age field
//! let age = user_buffer.get::<u16>(&["age"])?;
//! // returns default value from schema
//! assert_eq!(age, Some(0u16));
//! 
//! // close again
//! let user_bytes: Vec<u8> = user_buffer.close();
//! 
//! 
//! // we can now save user_bytes to disk, 
//! // send it over the network, or whatever else is needed with the data
//! 
//! 
//! # Ok::<(), NP_Error>(()) 
//! ```

//! 1. [`Schemas`](https://docs.rs/no_proto/latest/no_proto/schema/index.html) - Learn how to build & work with schemas.
//! 2. [`Factories`](https://docs.rs/no_proto/latest/no_proto/struct.NP_Factory.html) - Parsing schemas into something you can work with.
//! 3. [`Buffers`](https://docs.rs/no_proto/latest/no_proto/buffer/struct.NP_Buffer.html) - How to create, update & compact buffers/data.
//! 4. [`Data Format`](https://docs.rs/no_proto/latest/no_proto/format/index.html) - Learn how data is saved into the buffer.
//! 
//! ## Benchmarks
//! While it's difficult to properly benchmark libraries like these in a fair way, I've made an attempt in the graph below.  These benchmarks are available in the `bench` folder and you can easily run them yourself with `cargo run --release`. 
//! 
//! The format and data used in the benchmarks were taken from the `flatbuffers` benchmarks github repo.  You should always benchmark/test your own use case for each library before making any decisions on what to use.
//! 
//! **Legend**: Higher % is better, 200% means the competing library did the same task as NoProto in half the time, 50% means it took twice as long.
//! 
//! | Library            | Encode | Decode All | Decode 1 | Update 1 | Size | Size (Zlib) |
//! |--------------------|--------|------------|----------|----------|------|-------------|
//! | NoProto            | 100%   | 100%       | 100%     | 100%     | 284  | 229         |
//! | FlatBuffers        | 193%   | 1800%      | 1600%    | 16%      | 336  | 214         |
//! | Protocol Buffers 2 | 103%   | 80%        | 7%       | 5%       | 220  | 163         |
//! | MessagePack        | 13%    | 16%        | 1%       | 1%       | 431  | 245         |
//! | JSON               | 68%    | 29%        | 3%       | 5%       | 673  | 246         |
//! | BSON               | 9%     | 7%         | 1%       | 1%       | 600  | 279         |
//! 
//! 
//! - **Encode**: Transfer a collection of test data into a serialized Vec<u8>.
//! - **Decode All**: Deserialize the test object from the Vec<u8> into all it's properties.
//! - **Decode 1**: Deserialize the test object from the Vec<u8> into one of it's properties.
//! - **Update 1**: Deserialize, update a single property, then serialize back into Vec<u8>.
//! 
//! Complete benchmark source code is available [here](https://github.com/only-cliches/NoProto/tree/master/bench).
//! 
//! In my opinion the benchmarks above make NoProto the clear winner if you ever plan to mutate or update your buffer data.  If buffer data can always be immutable and the fixed compiled schemas aren't an issue, Flatbuffers is the better choice.
//! 
//! I also think there's a strong argument here against using data without a schema.  The cost of an entirely flexible formats like JSON or BSON is crazy.  Putting schemas on your data not only increases your data hygiene but makes the storage of the data far more comapct while increasing the deserialization and serialization perfomrance substantially.
//! 
//! #### Limitations
//! - Buffers cannot be larger than 2^16 bytes (~16kb).
//! - Collections (Lists, Maps, Tuples & Tables) cannot have more than 255 immediate child items.
//! - Enum/Option types are limited to 255 choices and choice strings cannot be larger than 255 bytes.
//! - Tables are limited to 255 columns and column names cannot be larger than 255 bytes.
//! - Buffers are not validated or checked before deserializing.
//! 
//! #### Non Goals / Known Tradeoffs 
//! If every CPU cycle counts, you don't mind compiling fixed schemas and you don't plan to mutate your buffers/objects, FlatBuffers/CapnProto is probably the way to go.  It's impossible to make a flexible format like NoProto as fast as formats that compile your schemas ahead of time and store data immutably.
