//! Flexbuffers is a high performance schemaless binary data format designed at Google.
//! It is complementary to the schema-ed format [Flatbuffers](http://docs.rs/flatbuffers/).
//! See [Flexbuffer Internals](https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/flatbuffers_internals.html)
//! for details on the binary format.
//!
//! See the examples for usage:
//! * [Example](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/blob/master/samples/sample_flexbuffers.rs)
//! * [Serde Example](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/blob/master/samples/sample_flexbuffers_serde.rs)
//!
//! This rust implementation is in progress and, until the 1.0 release, breaking API changes may
//! happen between minor versions.
// TODO(cneo): serde stuff are behind a default-on feature flag
//             Reader to Json is behind a default-off feature flag
//             Serializable structs are Pushable
//             Serde with maps - field names and type names.

// Until flat/flexbuffers is on Rust v1.42, we cannot use the previously unstable matches! macro.
