+//! `fondant` is a macro based library to take the boilerplate out of
+//! configuration handling. Most of `fondant` is based off the `confy` crate.
+//!
+//! `fondant` adds a couple of extra features:
+//!
+//!  - support for json, yaml and toml
+//!  - support for custom config paths
+//!  - support for custom config file names
+//!
+//!  ### Sample usage
+//!
+//! ```
+//! // the struct has to derive Serialize, Deserialize and Default
+//! #[derive(Configure, Serialize, Deserialize, Default)]
+//! #[config_file = "config.toml"]
+//! // |
+//! // `-- this attribute sets the file name to "config.toml"
+//! // `-- the file format to "toml"
+//! // `-- the file path to "default" (read the notes below)
+//! struct AppConfig {
+//!     version: u32,
+//!     port: u32,
+//!     username: String,
+//! }
+//!
+//! fn main() {
+//!     // use `load` (associated method) to load the config file
+//!     let mut conf = AppConfig::load().unwrap();
+//!
+//!     // do stuff with conf
+//!     conf.version = 2;
+//!
+//!     // call `store` to save changes
+//!     conf.store().unwrap();
+//! }
+//! ```
+//! **Notes**:  
+//!  - `load` returns `Default::default` if the config file is not present, and stores
+//!  a serialized `Default::default` at the specified path
+//!  - the "default" config path varies by platform:
+//!     * GNU/Linux: `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/my_cool_crate/config.toml` (follows xdg spec)
+//!     * MacOS: `$HOME/Library/Preferences/my_cool_crate/config.toml`
+//!     * Windows: `{FOLDERID_RoamingAppData}\_project_path_\config`
+//!
+//! ### Customization
+//!
+//! Set your own filename, for ex.: `apprc`
+//!
+//! ```
+//! #[derive(Configure, Serialize, Deserialize, Default)]
+//! #[config_file = "apprc.toml"]
+//! struct AppConfig {
+//!     // -- snip --
+//! }
+//! // effective path: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/my_cool_crate/apprc.toml
+//! // effective format: toml
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Change file format to `yaml`, by changing the file extension.
+//! Supported extensions are `yaml`, `toml`, `json`:
+//! ```
+//! #[derive(Configure, Serialize, Deserialize, Default)]
+//! #[config_file = "config.yaml"]
+//! struct AppConfig {
+//!     // -- snip --
+//! }
+//! // effective path: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/my_cool_crate/config.yaml
+//! // effective format: yaml
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Override the default config path, for ex.: the home directory
+//! (it is not recommended to override config path):
+//! ```
+//! #[derive(Configure, Serialize, Deserialize, Default)]
+//! #[config_file = "~/.apprc.json"]
+//! struct AppConfig {
+//!     // -- snip --
+//! }
+//! // effective path: $HOME/.apprc.json
+//! // effective format: json
+//! ```
