+## This module contains procs for `serialization`:idx: and `deserialization`:idx:
+## of arbitrary Nim data structures. The serialization format uses `JSON`:idx:.
+##
+## **Restriction:** For objects, their type is **not** serialized. This means
+## essentially that it does not work if the object has some other runtime
+## type than its compiletime type.
+##
+##
+## Basic usage
+## ===========
+##
+runnableExamples:
+  type
+    A = object of RootObj
+    B = object of A
+      f: int
+
+  let a: ref A = new(B)
+  assert $$a[] == "{}" # not "{f: 0}"
+
+  # unmarshal
+  let c = to[B]("""{"f": 2}""")
+  assert typeof(c) is B
+  assert c.f == 2
+
+  # marshal
+  assert $$c == """{"f": 2}"""
+
+## **Note:** The `to` and `$$` operations are available at compile-time!
+##
