//! ## Gecko profiler marker support
//!
//! This marker API has a few different functions that you can use to mark a part of your code.
//! There are three main marker functions to use from Rust: [`add_untyped_marker`],
//! [`add_text_marker`] and [`add_marker`]. They are similar to what we have on
//! the C++ side. Please take a look at the marker documentation in the Firefox
//! source docs to learn more about them:
//! https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/tools/profiler/markers-guide.html
//!
//! ### Simple marker without any additional data
//!
//! The simplest way to add a marker without any additional information is the
//! [`add_untyped_marker`] API. You can use it to mark a part of the code with
//! only a name. E.g.:
//!
//! ```
//! gecko_profiler::add_untyped_marker(
//!     // Name of the marker as a string.
//!     "Marker Name",
//!     // Category with an optional sub-category.
//!     gecko_profiler_category!(Graphics, DisplayListBuilding),
//!     // MarkerOptions that keeps options like marker timing and marker stack.
//!     Default::default(),
//! );
//! ```
//!
//! Please see the [`gecko_profiler_category!`], [`MarkerOptions`],[`MarkerTiming`]
//! and [`MarkerStack`] to learn more about these.
//!
//! You can also give explicit [`MarkerOptions`] value like these:
//!
//! ```
//! // With both timing and stack fields:
//! MarkerOptions { timing: MarkerTiming::instant_now(), stack: MarkerStack::Full }
//! // Or with some fields as default:
//! MarkerOptions { timing: MarkerTiming::instant_now(), ..Default::default() }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Marker with only an additional text for more information:
//!
//! The next and slightly more advanced API is [`add_text_marker`].
//! This is used to add a marker name + a string value for extra information.
//! E.g.:
//!
//! ```
//! let info = "info about this marker";
//! ...
//! gecko_profiler::add_text_marker(
//!     // Name of the marker as a string.
//!     "Marker Name",
//!     // Category with an optional sub-category.
//!     gecko_profiler_category!(DOM),
//!     // MarkerOptions that keeps options like marker timing and marker stack.
//!     MarkerOptions {
//!         timing: MarkerTiming::instant_now(),
//!         ..Default::default()
//!     },
//!     // Additional information as a string.
//!     info,
//! );
//! ```
//!
//! ### Marker with a more complex payload and different visualization in the profiler front-end.
//!
//! [`add_marker`] is the most advanced API that you can use to add different types
//! of values as data to your marker and customize the visualization of that marker
//! in the profiler front-end (profiler.firefox.com).
//!
//! To be able to add a a marker, first you need to create your marker payload
//! struct in your codebase and implement the [`ProfilerMarker`] trait like this:
//!
//! ```
//! #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug)]
//! pub struct TestMarker {
//!     a: u32,
//!     b: String,
//! }
//!
//! // Please see the documentation of [`ProfilerMarker`].
//! impl gecko_profiler::ProfilerMarker for TestMarker {
//!     fn marker_type_name() -> &'static str {
//!         "marker type from rust"
//!     }
//!     fn marker_type_display() -> gecko_profiler::MarkerSchema {
//!         use gecko_profiler::marker::schema::*;
//!         let mut schema = MarkerSchema::new(&[Location::MarkerChart]);
//!         schema.set_chart_label("Name: {marker.name}");
//!         schema.set_tooltip_label("{marker.data.a}");
//!         schema.add_key_label_format("a", "A Value", Format::Integer);
//!         schema.add_key_label_format("b", "B Value", Format::String);
//!         schema
//!     }
//!     fn stream_json_marker_data(&self, json_writer: &mut gecko_profiler::JSONWriter) {
//!         json_writer.int_property("a", self.a.into());
//!         json_writer.string_property("b", &self.b);
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Once you've created this payload and implemented the [`ProfilerMarker`], you
//! can now add this marker in the code that you would like to measure. E.g.:
//!
//! ```
//! gecko_profiler::add_marker(
//!     // Name of the marker as a string.
//!     "Marker Name",
//!     // Category with an optional sub-category.
//!     gecko_profiler_category!(Graphics, DisplayListBuilding),
//!     // MarkerOptions that keeps options like marker timing and marker stack.
//!     Default::default(),
//!     // Marker payload.
//!     TestMarker {a: 12, b: "hello".to_owned()},
//! );
//! ```
