//! [Dhall][dhall] is a programmable configuration language that provides a non-repetitive
//! alternative to JSON and YAML.
//!
//! You can think of Dhall as: JSON + types + imports + functions
//!
//! For a description of the Dhall language, examples, tutorials, and more, see the [language
//! website][dhall].
//!
//! This crate provides support for consuming Dhall files the same way you would consume JSON or
//! YAML. It uses the [Serde][serde] serialization library to provide drop-in support for Dhall
//! for any datatype that supports serde (and that's a lot of them !).
//!
//! This library is limited to deserializing (reading) Dhall values; serializing (writing)
//! values to Dhall is not supported.
//!
//! # Basic usage
//!
//! The main entrypoint of this library is the [`from_str`][from_str] function. It reads a string
//! containing a Dhall expression and deserializes it into any serde-compatible type.
//!
//! This could mean a common Rust type like `HashMap`:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # fn main() -> serde_dhall::de::Result<()> {
//! use std::collections::HashMap;
//!
//! // Some Dhall data
//! let data = "{ x = 1, y = 1 + 1 } : { x: Natural, y: Natural }";
//!
//! // Deserialize it to a Rust type.
//! let deserialized_map: HashMap = serde_dhall::from_str(data)?;
//!
//! let mut expected_map = HashMap::new();
//! expected_map.insert("x".to_string(), 1);
//! expected_map.insert("y".to_string(), 2);
//!
//! assert_eq!(deserialized_map, expected_map);
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! or a custom datatype, using serde's `derive` mechanism:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # fn main() -> serde_dhall::de::Result<()> {
//! use serde::Deserialize;
//!
//! #[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
//! struct Point {
//! x: u64,
//! y: u64,
//! }
//!
//! // Some Dhall data
//! let data = "{ x = 1, y = 1 + 1 } : { x: Natural, y: Natural }";
//!
//! // Convert the Dhall string to a Point.
//! let point: Point = serde_dhall::from_str(data)?;
//! assert_eq!(point.x, 1);
//! assert_eq!(point.y, 2);
//!
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Type correspondence
//!
//! The following Dhall types correspond to the following Rust types:
//!
//! Dhall | Rust
//! -------|------
//! `Bool` | `bool`
//! `Natural` | `u64`, `u32`, ...
//! `Integer` | `i64`, `i32`, ...
//! `Double` | `f64`, `f32`, ...
//! `Text` | `String`
//! `List T` | `Vec`
//! `Optional T` | `Option`
//! `{ x: T, y: U }` | structs
//! `{ _1: T, _2: U }` | `(T, U)`, structs
//! `{ x: T, y: T }` | `HashMap`, structs
//! `< x: T \| y: U >` | enums
//! `T -> U` | unsupported
//! `Prelude.JSON.Type` | unsupported
//! `Prelude.Map.Type T U` | unsupported
//!
//!
//! # Replacing `serde_json` or `serde_yaml`
//!
//! If you used to consume JSON or YAML, you only need to replace [serde_json::from_str] or
//! [serde_yaml::from_str] with [serde_dhall::from_str][from_str].
//!
//! [serde_json::from_str]: https://docs.serde.rs/serde_json/de/fn.from_str.html
//! [serde_yaml::from_str]: https://docs.serde.rs/serde_yaml/fn.from_str.html
//!
//!
//! # Additional Dhall typechecking
//!
//! When deserializing, normal type checking is done to ensure that the returned value is a valid
//! Dhall value, and that it can be deserialized into the required Rust type. However types are
//! first-class in Dhall, and this library allows you to additionally check that some input data
//! matches a given Dhall type. That way, a type error will be caught on the Dhall side, and have
//! pretty and explicit errors that point to the source file.
//!
//! There are two ways to typecheck a Dhall value: you can provide the type as Dhall text or you
//! can let Rust infer it for you.
//!
//! To provide a type written in Dhall, first parse it into a [`serde_dhall::Value`][Value], then
//! pass it to [`from_str_check_type`][from_str_check_type].
//!
//! ```rust
//! # fn main() -> serde_dhall::de::Result<()> {
//! use serde_dhall::Value;
//! use std::collections::HashMap;
//!
//! // Parse a Dhall type
//! let point_type_str = "{ x: Natural, y: Natural }";
//! let point_type: Value = serde_dhall::from_str(point_type_str)?;
//!
//! // Some Dhall data
//! let point_data = "{ x = 1, y = 1 + 1 }";
//!
//! // Deserialize the data to a Rust type. This checks that
//! // the data matches the provided type.
//! let deserialized_map: HashMap =
//! serde_dhall::from_str_check_type(point_data, &point_type)?;
//!
//! let mut expected_map = HashMap::new();
//! expected_map.insert("x".to_string(), 1);
//! expected_map.insert("y".to_string(), 2);
//!
//! assert_eq!(deserialized_map, expected_map);
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! You can also let Rust infer the appropriate Dhall type, using the [StaticType] trait.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # fn main() -> serde_dhall::de::Result<()> {
//! use serde::Deserialize;
//! use serde_dhall::StaticType;
//!
//! #[derive(Debug, Deserialize, StaticType)]
//! struct Point {
//! x: u64,
//! y: u64,
//! }
//!
//! // Some Dhall data
//! let data = "{ x = 1, y = 1 + 1 }";
//!
//! // Convert the Dhall string to a Point.
//! let point: Point = serde_dhall::from_str_auto_type(data)?;
//! assert_eq!(point.x, 1);
//! assert_eq!(point.y, 2);
//!
//! // Invalid data fails the type validation
//! let invalid_data = "{ x = 1, z = 0.3 }";
//! assert!(serde_dhall::from_str_auto_type::(invalid_data).is_err());
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
