"""Implementation of a decoder for the machine-oriented binary Preserves syntax.
Args:
packet (bytes):
initial contents of the input buffer; may subsequently be extended by calling
[extend][preserves.binary.Decoder.extend].
include_annotations (bool):
if `True`, wrap each value and subvalue in an
[Annotated][preserves.values.Annotated] object.
decode_embedded:
function accepting a `Value` and returning a possibly-decoded form of that value
suitable for placing into an [Embedded][preserves.values.Embedded] object.
Normal usage is to supply a buffer, and keep calling [next][preserves.binary.Decoder.next]
until a [ShortPacket][preserves.error.ShortPacket] exception is raised:
```python
>>> d = Decoder(b'\\xa0{\\xb1\\x05hello\\x85\\xb3\\x01x\\xb5\\x84')
>>> d.next()
123
>>> d.next()
'hello'
>>> d.next()
()
>>> d.next()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
preserves.error.ShortPacket: Short packet
```
Alternatively, keep calling [try_next][preserves.binary.Decoder.try_next] until it yields
`None`, which is not in the domain of Preserves `Value`s:
```python
>>> d = Decoder(b'\\xa0{\\xb1\\x05hello\\x85\\xb3\\x01x\\xb5\\x84')
>>> d.try_next()
123
>>> d.try_next()
'hello'
>>> d.try_next()
()
>>> d.try_next()
```
For convenience, [Decoder][preserves.binary.Decoder] implements the iterator interface,
backing it with [try_next][preserves.binary.Decoder.try_next], so you can simply iterate
over all complete values in an input:
```python
>>> d = Decoder(b'\\xa0{\\xb1\\x05hello\\x85\\xb3\\x01x\\xb5\\x84')
>>> list(d)
[123, 'hello', ()]
```
```python
>>> for v in Decoder(b'\\xa0{\\xb1\\x05hello\\x85\\xb3\\x01x\\xb5\\x84'):
... print(repr(v))
123
'hello'
()
```
Supply `include_annotations=True` to read annotations alongside the annotated values:
```python
>>> d = Decoder(b'\\xa0{\\xb1\\x05hello\\x85\\xb3\\x01x\\xb5\\x84', include_annotations=True)
>>> list(d)
[123, 'hello', @#x ()]
```
If you are incrementally reading from, say, a socket, you can use
[extend][preserves.binary.Decoder.extend] to add new input as if comes available:
```python
>>> d = Decoder(b'\\xa0{\\xb1\\x05he')
>>> d.try_next()
123
>>> d.try_next() # returns None because the input is incomplete
>>> d.extend(b'llo')
>>> d.try_next()
'hello'
>>> d.try_next()
```

encode_embedded:
function accepting an [Embedded][preserves.values.Embedded].embeddedValue and
returning a `Value` for serialization.
canonicalize (bool):
if `True`, ensures the serialized data are in [canonical
form](https://preserves.dev/canonical-binary.html). This is slightly more work than
producing potentially-non-canonical output.
include_annotations (bool | None):
if `None`, includes annotations in the output only when `canonicalize` is `False`,
because [canonical serialization of values demands omission of
annotations](https://preserves.dev/canonical-binary.html). If explicitly `True` or
`False`, however, annotations will be included resp. excluded no matter the
`canonicalize` setting. This can be used to get canonical ordering
(`canonicalize=True`) *and* annotations (`include_annotations=True`).
