//! JSON representation.
//!
//! This module provides a [`serde_json`]-like API that is backed by the native
//! Materialize data format, i.e., [`Row`] and [`Datum`]. It supports
//! efficiently parsing and serializing JSON strings and byte slices with
//! minimal allocations. It also provides seamless interop with APIs that
//! require [`serde_json::Value`], though at a small performance cost.
//!
//! There are two core types in the module:
//!
//!   * [`Jsonb`] represents owned JSON data. This type houses the
//!     deserialization functions.
//!
//!   * [`JsonbRef`] is a borrowed view of JSON data. This type houses the
//!     serialization functions.
//!
//! The name "jsonb" is based on the PostgreSQL data type of the same name.
//! Various sources claim this stands for "JSON better", as compared to the
//! less-efficient `json` data type in PostgreSQL.
//!
//! ## Constructing JSON objects
//!
//! To parse JSON from a string, use the [`FromStr`] implementation. Once
//! parsed, the underlying [`Row`] can be extracted with [`Jsonb::into_row`].
//!
//! ```
//! # use mz_repr::adt::jsonb::Jsonb;
//! let jsonb: Jsonb = r#"{"a": 1, "b": 2}"#.parse()?;
//! let row = jsonb.into_row();
//! # Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
//! ```
//!
//! If the source JSON is in bytes, use [`Jsonb::from_slice`] instead:
//!
//! ```
//! # use mz_repr::adt::jsonb::Jsonb;
//! let jsonb = Jsonb::from_slice(br#"{"a": 1, "b": 2}"#);
//! # Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
//! ```
//!
//! ## Serializing JSON objects
//!
//! To write a JSON object to a string, use the [`fmt::Display`] implementation.
//! The alternate format produces pretty output.
//!
//! ```
//! # use mz_repr::adt::jsonb::Jsonb;
//! # let jsonb: Jsonb = "null".parse().unwrap();
//! format!("compressed: {}", jsonb);
//! format!("pretty: {:#}", jsonb);
//! ```
//!
//! ## Direct JSON deserialization
//!
//! You can skip [`Jsonb`] entirely and deserialize JSON directly into an
//! existing [`Row`] with [`JsonbPacker`]. This saves an allocation and a
//! copy.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use mz_repr::adt::jsonb::JsonbPacker;
//! # use mz_repr::{Datum, Row};
//! let mut row = Row::default();
//! let mut packer = row.packer();
//! packer.push(Datum::Int32(42));
//! JsonbPacker::new(&mut packer).pack_str("[1, 2]")?;
//! # Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
//! ```
