# Platform-independent secure storage model

This module defines a plug and play model for platform-specific credential stores.
The model comprises two traits: [CredentialBuilderApi] for the underlying store
and [CredentialApi] for the entries in the store.  These traits must be implemented
in a thread-safe way, a requirement captured in the [CredentialBuilder] and
[Credential] types that wrap them.

Note that you must have an instance of a credential builder in
your hands in order to call the [CredentialBuilder] API.  Because each credential
builder implementation lives in a platform-specific module, the cross-platform way to
get your hands on the one currently being used to create entries is to ask
for the builder from the `default` module alias.  For example, to
determine whether the credential builder currently being used
persists its credentials across machine reboots, you might use a snippet like this:

```rust
use keyring::{default, credential};

let persistence = default::default_credential_builder().persistence();
if  matches!(persistence, credential::CredentialPersistence::UntilDelete) {
    println!("The default credential builder persists credentials on disk!")
} else {
    println!("The default credential builder doesn't persist credentials on disk!")
}
```
