This crate is a Rust library for using the [Serde] serialization
framework with data in [S-expression] format, which are the
human-readable, textual representation of code and data in the Lisp
family of languages.

[Serde]: https://github.com/serde-rs/serde
[S-expression]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-expression

This library does not implement an S-expression parser; it is built
upon [`lexpr`], which provides a parser and serializer.
