//! The Value enum, a loosely typed way of representing any valid JSON value.
//!
//! # Constructing JSON
//!
//! Serde JSON provides a [`json!` macro][macro] to build `serde_json::Value`
//! objects with very natural JSON syntax. In order to use this macro,
//! `serde_json` needs to be imported with the `#[macro_use]` attribute.
//!
//! ```rust
//! #[macro_use]
//! extern crate serde_json;
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     // The type of `john` is `serde_json::Value`
//!     let john = json!({
//!       "name": "John Doe",
//!       "age": 43,
//!       "phones": [
//!         "+44 1234567",
//!         "+44 2345678"
//!       ]
//!     });
//!
//!     println!("first phone number: {}", john["phones"][0]);
//!
//!     // Convert to a string of JSON and print it out
//!     println!("{}", john.to_string());
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The `Value::to_string()` function converts a `serde_json::Value` into a
//! `String` of JSON text.
//!
//! One neat thing about the `json!` macro is that variables and expressions can
//! be interpolated directly into the JSON value as you are building it. Serde
//! will check at compile time that the value you are interpolating is able to
//! be represented as JSON.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # #[macro_use] extern crate serde_json;
//! # fn random_phone() -> u16 { 0 }
//! # fn main() {
//! let full_name = "John Doe";
//! let age_last_year = 42;
//!
//! // The type of `john` is `serde_json::Value`
//! let john = json!({
//!   "name": full_name,
//!   "age": age_last_year + 1,
//!   "phones": [
//!     format!("+44 {}", random_phone())
//!   ]
//! });
//! # let _ = john;
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! A string of JSON data can be parsed into a `serde_json::Value` by the
//! [`serde_json::from_str`][from_str] function. There is also
//! [`from_slice`][from_slice] for parsing from a byte slice &[u8],
//! [`from_iter`][from_iter] for parsing from an iterator of bytes, and
//! [`from_reader`][from_reader] for parsing from any `io::Read` like a File or
//! a TCP stream.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # extern crate serde_json;
//! # use serde_json::Error;
//! # pub fn example() -> Result<(), Error> {
//! use serde_json::Value;
//!
//! let data = r#" { "name": "John Doe", "age": 43, ... } "#;
//! let v: Value = serde_json::from_str(data)?;
//! println!("Please call {} at the number {}", v["name"], v["phones"][0]);
//! # Ok(()) }
//! # fn main() {}
//! ```

// The usual semantics of Index is to panic on invalid indexing.

// That said, the usual semantics are for things like Vec and BTreeMap which
// have different use cases than Value. If you are working with a Vec, you know
// that you are working with a Vec and you can get the len of the Vec and make
// sure your indices are within bounds. The Value use cases are more
// loosey-goosey. You got some JSON from an endpoint and you want to pull values
// out of it. Outside of this Index impl, you already have the option of using
// value.as_array() and working with the Vec directly, or matching on
// Value::Array and getting the Vec directly. The Index impl means you can skip
// that and index directly into the thing using a concise syntax. You don't have
// to check the type, you don't have to check the len, it is all about what you
// expect the Value to look like.
//
// Basically the use cases that would be well served by panicking here are
// better served by using one of the other approaches: get and get_mut,
// as_array, or match. The value of this impl is that it adds a way of working
// with Value that is not well served by the existing approaches: concise and
// careless and sometimes that is exactly what you want.
