// Package query implements encoding of structs into URL query parameters.
//
// As a simple example:
//
//	type Options struct {
//		Query   string `url:"q"`
//		ShowAll bool   `url:"all"`
//		Page    int    `url:"page"`
//	}
//
//	opt := Options{ "foo", true, 2 }
//	v, _ := query.Values(opt)
//	fmt.Print(v.Encode()) // will output: "q=foo&all=true&page=2"
//
// The exact mapping between Go values and url.Values is described in the
// documentation for the Values() function.

// Encoder is an interface implemented by any type that wishes to encode
// itself into URL values in a non-standard way.
type Encoder interface {
	EncodeValues(key string, v *url.Values) error
}

// Values returns the url.Values encoding of v.
//
// Values expects to be passed a struct, and traverses it recursively using the
// following encoding rules.
//
// Each exported struct field is encoded as a URL parameter unless
//
//   - the field's tag is "-", or
//   - the field is empty and its tag specifies the "omitempty" option
//
// The empty values are false, 0, any nil pointer or interface value, any array
// slice, map, or string of length zero, and any type (such as time.Time) that
// returns true for IsZero().
//
// The URL parameter name defaults to the struct field name but can be
// specified in the struct field's tag value.  The "url" key in the struct
// field's tag value is the key name, followed by an optional comma and
// options.  For example:
//
//	// Field is ignored by this package.
//	Field int `url:"-"`
//
//	// Field appears as URL parameter "myName".
//	Field int `url:"myName"`
//
//	// Field appears as URL parameter "myName" and the field is omitted if
//	// its value is empty
//	Field int `url:"myName,omitempty"`
//
//	// Field appears as URL parameter "Field" (the default), but the field
//	// is skipped if empty.  Note the leading comma.
//	Field int `url:",omitempty"`
//
// For encoding individual field values, the following type-dependent rules
// apply:
//
// Boolean values default to encoding as the strings "true" or "false".
// Including the "int" option signals that the field should be encoded as the
// strings "1" or "0".
//
// time.Time values default to encoding as RFC3339 timestamps.  Including the
// "unix" option signals that the field should be encoded as a Unix time (see
// time.Unix()).  The "unixmilli" and "unixnano" options will encode the number
// of milliseconds and nanoseconds, respectively, since January 1, 1970 (see
// time.UnixNano()).  Including the "layout" struct tag (separate from the
// "url" tag) will use the value of the "layout" tag as a layout passed to
// time.Format.  For example:
//
//	// Encode a time.Time as YYYY-MM-DD
//	Field time.Time `layout:"2006-01-02"`
//
// Slice and Array values default to encoding as multiple URL values of the
// same name.  Including the "comma" option signals that the field should be
// encoded as a single comma-delimited value.  Including the "space" option
// similarly encodes the value as a single space-delimited string. Including
// the "semicolon" option will encode the value as a semicolon-delimited string.
// Including the "brackets" option signals that the multiple URL values should
// have "[]" appended to the value name. "numbered" will append a number to
// the end of each incidence of the value name, example:
// name0=value0&name1=value1, etc.  Including the "del" struct tag (separate
// from the "url" tag) will use the value of the "del" tag as the delimiter.
// For example:
//
//	// Encode a slice of bools as ints ("1" for true, "0" for false),
//	// separated by exclamation points "!".
//	Field []bool `url:",int" del:"!"`
//
// Anonymous struct fields are usually encoded as if their inner exported
// fields were fields in the outer struct, subject to the standard Go
// visibility rules.  An anonymous struct field with a name given in its URL
// tag is treated as having that name, rather than being anonymous.
//
// Non-nil pointer values are encoded as the value pointed to.
//
// Nested structs have their fields processed recursively and are encoded
// including parent fields in value names for scoping. For example,
//
//	"user[name]=acme&user[addr][postcode]=1234&user[addr][city]=SFO"
//
// All other values are encoded using their default string representation.
//
// Multiple fields that encode to the same URL parameter name will be included
// as multiple URL values of the same name.
