objc2-encode 4.0.3

//! # Objective-C type-encoding
//!
//! The Objective-C directive `@encode` encodes types as strings, and this is
//! used in various places in the runtime.
//!
//! This crate provides the [`Encoding`] type to describe and compare these
//! type-encodings, and the [`EncodingBox`] type which does the same, except
//! it can be parsed from an encoding at runtime.
//!
//! The types from this crate is exported under the [`objc2`] crate as
//! `objc2::encode`, so usually you would use it from there.
//!
//! [`objc2`]: https://crates.io/crates/objc2
//!
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! Parse an encoding from a string and compare it to a known encoding.
//!
//! ```rust
//! use objc2_encode::{Encoding, EncodingBox};
//! let s = "{s=i}";
//! let enc = Encoding::Struct("s", &[Encoding::Int]);
//! let parsed: EncodingBox = s.parse()?;
//! assert!(enc.equivalent_to_box(&parsed));
//! assert_eq!(enc.to_string(), s);
//! # Ok::<(), objc2_encode::ParseError>(())
//! ```
//!
