// wire_serialization.h -- absl::StrCat()-like interface for QUICHE wire format.
//
// When serializing a data structure, there are two common approaches:
//   (1) Allocate into a dynamically sized buffer and incur the costs of memory
//       allocations.
//   (2) Precompute the length of the structure, allocate a buffer of the
//       exact required size and then write into the said buffer.
//  QUICHE generally takes the second approach, but as a result, a lot of
//  serialization code is written twice. This API avoids this issue by letting
//  the caller declaratively describe the wire format; the description provided
//  is used both for the size computation and for the serialization.
//
// Consider the following struct in RFC 9000 language:
//   Test Struct {
//     Magic Value (32),
//     Some Number (i),
//     [Optional Number (i)],
//     Magical String Length (i),
//     Magical String (..),
//   }
//
// Using the functions in this header, it can be serialized as follows:
//   absl::StatusOr<quiche::QuicheBuffer> test_struct = SerializeIntoBuffer(
//     WireUint32(magic_value),
//     WireVarInt62(some_number),
//     WireOptional<WireVarint62>(optional_number),
//     WireStringWithVarInt62Length(magical_string)
//   );
//
// This header provides three main functions with fairly self-explanatory names:
//  - size_t ComputeLengthOnWire(d1, d2, ... dN)
//  - absl::Status SerializeIntoWriter(writer, d1, d2, ... dN)
//  - absl::StatusOr<QuicheBuffer> SerializeIntoBuffer(allocator, d1, ... dN)
//
// It is possible to define a custom serializer for individual structs. Those
// would normally look like this:
//
//     struct AwesomeStruct { ... }
//     class WireAwesomeStruct {
//      public:
//       using DataType = AwesomeStruct;
//       WireAwesomeStruct(const AwesomeStruct& awesome) : awesome_(awesome) {}
//       size_t GetLengthOnWire() { ... }
//       absl::Status SerializeIntoWriter(QuicheDataWriter& writer) { ... }
//     };
//
// See the unit test for the full version of the example above.
