use serde::Serializer;

use crate::{PartialReflect, TypeRegistry};

/// Allows overriding the default serialization behavior of
/// [`ReflectSerializer`] and [`TypedReflectSerializer`] for specific values.
///
/// When serializing a reflected value, you may want to override the default
/// behavior and use your own logic for serialization. This logic may also be
/// context-dependent, and only apply for a single use of your
/// [`ReflectSerializer`]. To achieve this, you can create a processor and pass
/// it into your serializer.
///
/// Whenever the serializer attempts to serialize a value, it will first call
/// [`try_serialize`] on your processor, which may take ownership of the
/// serializer and write into the serializer (successfully or not), or return
/// ownership of the serializer back, and continue with the default logic.
///
/// The deserialization equivalent of this is [`ReflectDeserializerProcessor`].
///
/// # Compared to [`SerializeWithRegistry`]
///
/// [`SerializeWithRegistry`] allows you to define how your type will be
/// serialized by a [`TypedReflectSerializer`], given the extra context of the
/// [`TypeRegistry`]. If your type can be serialized entirely using that, then
/// you should prefer implementing that trait instead of using a processor.
///
/// However, you may need more context-dependent data which is only present in
/// the scope where you create the [`TypedReflectSerializer`]. For example, if
/// you need to use a reference to a value while serializing, then there is no
/// way to do this with [`SerializeWithRegistry`] as you can't pass that
/// reference into anywhere. This is where a processor is useful, as the
/// processor can capture local variables.
///
/// A [`ReflectSerializerProcessor`] always takes priority over a
/// [`SerializeWithRegistry`] implementation, so this is also useful for
/// overriding serialization behavior if you need to do something custom.
///
