The merde family of crates aims to provide a lighter, simpler, and
build-time-friendly alternative to serde.
This "core" crate provides core types like Value, Array, Map,
and CowStr<'s> (a copy-on-write string type that also leverages
compact_str's small string
optimization), and traits like Deserialize and IntoStatic.
Crates that provide support for formats (like merde_json), depend only on the "core" crate.
The umbrella crate merde re-exports core's types, along
with a derive! macro which lets you implement Serialize, Deserialize, IntoStatic,
on structs, enums, etc.
