//! untrusted.rs: Safe, fast, zero-panic, zero-crashing, zero-allocation
//! parsing of untrusted inputs in Rust.
//!
//! <code>git clone https://github.com/briansmith/untrusted</code>
//!
//! untrusted.rs goes beyond Rust's normal safety guarantees by  also
//! guaranteeing that parsing will be panic-free, as long as
//! `untrusted::Input::as_slice_less_safe()` is not used. It avoids copying
//! data and heap allocation and strives to prevent common pitfalls such as
//! accidentally parsing input bytes multiple times. In order to meet these
//! goals, untrusted.rs is limited in functionality such that it works best for
//! input languages with a small fixed amount of lookahead such as ASN.1, TLS,
//! TCP/IP, and many other networking, IPC, and related protocols. Languages
//! that require more lookahead and/or backtracking require some significant
//! contortions to parse using this framework. It would not be realistic to use
//! it for parsing programming language code, for example.
//!
//! The overall pattern for using untrusted.rs is:
//!
//! 1. Write a recursive-descent-style parser for the input language, where the
//!    input data is given as a `&mut untrusted::Reader` parameter to each
//!    function. Each function should have a return type of `Result<V, E>` for
//!    some value type `V` and some error type `E`, either or both of which may
//!    be `()`. Functions for parsing the lowest-level language constructs
//!    should be defined. Those lowest-level functions will parse their inputs
//!    using `::read_byte()`, `Reader::peek()`, and similar functions.
//!    Higher-level language constructs are then parsed by calling the
//!    lower-level functions in sequence.
//!
//! 2. Wrap the top-most functions of your recursive-descent parser in
//!    functions that take their input data as an `untrusted::Input`. The
//!    wrapper functions should call the `Input`'s `read_all` (or a variant
//!    thereof) method. The wrapper functions are the only ones that should be
//!    exposed outside the parser's module.
//!
//! 3. After receiving the input data to parse, wrap it in an `untrusted::Input`
//!    using `untrusted::Input::from()` as early as possible. Pass the
//!    `untrusted::Input` to the wrapper functions when they need to be parsed.
//!
//! In general parsers built using `untrusted::Reader` do not need to explicitly
//! check for end-of-input unless they are parsing optional constructs, because
//! `Reader::read_byte()` will return `Err(EndOfInput)` on end-of-input.
//! Similarly, parsers using `untrusted::Reader` generally don't need to check
//! for extra junk at the end of the input as long as the parser's API uses the
//! pattern described above, as `read_all` and its variants automatically check
//! for trailing junk. `Reader::skip_to_end()` must be used when any remaining
//! unread input should be ignored without triggering an error.
//!
//! untrusted.rs works best when all processing of the input data is done
//! through the `untrusted::Input` and `untrusted::Reader` types. In
//! particular, avoid trying to parse input data using functions that take
//! byte slices. However, when you need to access a part of the input data as
//! a slice to use a function that isn't written using untrusted.rs,
//! `Input::as_slice_less_safe()` can be used.
//!
//! It is recommend to use `use untrusted;` and then `untrusted::Input`,
//! `untrusted::Reader`, etc., instead of using `use untrusted::*`. Qualifying
//! the names with `untrusted` helps remind the reader of the code that it is
//! dealing with *untrusted* input.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! [*ring*](https://github.com/briansmith/ring)'s parser for the subset of
//! ASN.1 DER it needs to understand,
//! [`ring::der`](https://github.com/briansmith/ring/blob/master/src/der.rs),
//! is built on top of untrusted.rs. *ring* also uses untrusted.rs to parse ECC
//! public keys, RSA PKCS#1 1.5 padding, and for all other parsing it does.
//!
//! All of [webpki](https://github.com/briansmith/webpki)'s parsing of X.509
//! certificates (also ASN.1 DER) is done using untrusted.rs.
