A Preserves schema connects Preserves Values to host-language data
structures. Each definition within a schema can be processed by a
compiler to produce
-
a simple host-language type definition;
-
a partial parsing function from
Values to instances of the produced type; and -
a total serialization function from instances of the type to
Values.
Every parsed Value retains enough information to always be able to
be serialized again, and every instance of a host-language data
structure contains, by construction, enough information to be
successfully serialized.
