/**
 * SECTION:json-gboxed
 * @short_description: Serialize and deserialize GBoxed types
 *
 * GLib's #GBoxed type is a generic wrapper for arbitrary C structures.
 *
 * JSON-GLib allows serialization and deserialization of a #GBoxed type
 * by registering functions mapping a #JsonNodeType to a specific
 * #GType.
 *
 * When registering a #GBoxed type you should also register the
 * corresponding transformation functions, e.g.:
 *
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 *   GType
 *   my_struct_get_type (void)
 *   {
 *     static GType boxed_type = 0;
 *
 *     if (boxed_type == 0)
 *       {
 *         boxed_type =
 *           g_boxed_type_register_static (g_intern_static_string ("MyStruct"),
 *                                         (GBoxedCopyFunc) my_struct_copy,
 *                                         (GBoxedFreeFunc) my_struct_free);
 *
 *         json_boxed_register_serialize_func (boxed_type, JSON_NODE_OBJECT,
 *                                             my_struct_serialize);
 *         json_boxed_register_deserialize_func (boxed_type, JSON_NODE_OBJECT,
 *                                               my_struct_deserialize);
 *       }
 *
 *     return boxed_type;
 *   }
 * ]|
 *
 * The serialization function will be invoked by json_boxed_serialize():
 * it will be passed a pointer to the C structure and it must return a
 * #JsonNode. The deserialization function will be invoked by
 * json_boxed_deserialize(): it will be passed a #JsonNode for the
 * declared type and it must return a newly allocated C structure.
 *
 * It is possible to check whether a #GBoxed type can be deserialized
 * from a specific #JsonNodeType, and whether a #GBoxed can be serialized
 * and to which specific #JsonNodeType.
