Functions
SerializationRegistry &	a11::data::GlobalSerializationRegistry ()
	Returns the process-wide registry (defaults pre-installed).

Variables
constexpr std::string_view	a11::data::kJsonMimetype = "application/json"
	Media type of the built-in JSON codec.
constexpr std::string_view	a11::data::kMsgpackMimetype = "application/x-msgpack"
	Media type of the built-in MessagePack codec.

Detailed Description

Type-and-mimetype indexed serialization of values to/from Chunks.

a11::data::SerializationRegistry maps a C++ type together with a media type (its representation) to a serializer/deserializer pair, so arbitrary values can be converted to and from a11::data::Chunk. A serialized chunk records both halves: its mimetype embeds a stable type tag (for example "application/json;type=..."), letting the deserializer recover the intended type. JSON and MessagePack codecs are available as defaults.
