//! # Encoding and decoding strategies for query strings.
//!
//! There are various strategies to map Rust types into HTTP query strings. The [`FromQuery`] and
//! [`ToQuery`] encode the logic for how this encoding and decoding is performed. These traits
//! are public as a form of dependency inversion, so that you can override the decoding and
//! encoding strategy being used.
//!
//! These traits are used by the [`History`](crate::History) trait, which allows for modifying the
//! history state, and the [`Location`](crate::Location) struct, which allows for extracting the
//! current location (and this query).
//!
//! ## Default Strategy
//!
//! By default, any Rust type that implements [`Serialize`] or [`Deserialize`](serde::Deserialize)
//! has an implementation of [`ToQuery`] or [`FromQuery`], respectively. This implementation uses
//! the `serde_urlencoded` crate, which implements a standards-compliant `x-www-form-urlencoded`
//! encoder and decoder. Some patterns are not supported by this crate, for example it is not
//! possible to serialize arrays at the moment. If this is an issue for you, consider using the
//! `serde_qs` crate.
//!
//! Example:
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
//! use gloo_history::{MemoryHistory, History};
//!
//! #[derive(Serialize)]
//! struct Query {
//! name: String,
//! }
//!
//! let query = Query {
//! name: "user".into(),
//! };
//!
//! let history = MemoryHistory::new();
//! history.push_with_query("index.html", &query).unwrap();
//! ```
//!
//! ## Custom Strategy
//!
//! If desired, the [`FromQuery`] and [`ToQuery`] traits can also be manually implemented on
//! types to customize the encoding and decoding strategies. See the documentation for these traits
//! for more detail on how this can be done.
