Detailed Description

To serialize/deserialize container types to a tree, implement the appropriate functions:

void write(ryml::NodeRef *n, T const& seq);
bool read(ryml::ConstNodeRef const& n, T *seq);

Warning

Because of C++'s ADL rules, it is required to overload these functions in the namespace of the type you're serializing (or in the c4 namespace, or in the c4::yml namespace). [Here's an example of an issue where failing to do this was causing problems in some platforms](https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/issues/424)

Note

Please take note of the following pitfall when using serialization functions: you may have to include the header with your write() or read() implementation before any other headers that use functions from it. See the include order at the top of this source file. This constraint also applies to the conversion functions for your types; just like with the STL's headers, they should be included prior to ryml's headers. Lately, some effort was directed to provide forward declarations to alleviate this problem, but it may still occur.
