/// Trait implemented by types that generate responses for clients.
///
/// Any type that implements `Responder` can be used as the return type of a
/// handler:
///
/// ```rust
/// # #[macro_use] extern crate rocket;
/// # type T = ();
/// #
/// // This works for any `T` that implements `Responder`.
/// #[get("/")]
/// fn index() -> T { /* ... */ }
/// ```
///
/// # Deriving
///
/// This trait can, and largely _should_, be automatically derived. The derive
/// can handle all simple cases and most complex cases, too. When deriving
/// `Responder`, the first field of the annotated structure (or of each variant
/// if an `enum`) is used to generate a response while the remaining fields are
/// used as response headers:
///
/// ```rust
/// # #[macro_use] extern crate rocket;
/// # #[cfg(feature = "json")] mod _main {
/// # type Template = String;
/// use rocket::http::ContentType;
/// use rocket::serde::{Serialize, json::Json};
///
/// #[derive(Responder)]
/// enum Error<T> {
///     #[response(status = 400)]
///     Unauthorized(Json<T>),
///     #[response(status = 404)]
///     NotFound(Template, ContentType),
/// }
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// For full details on deriving `Responder`, see the [`Responder` derive].
///
/// [`Responder` derive]: derive@crate::Responder
///
/// # Provided Implementations
///
/// Rocket implements `Responder` for several standard library types. Their
/// behavior is documented here. Note that the `Result` implementation is
/// overloaded, allowing for two `Responder`s to be used at once, depending on
/// the variant.
///
///   * **&str**
///
///     Sets the `Content-Type` to `text/plain`. The string is used as the body
///     of the response, which is fixed size and not streamed. To stream a raw
///     string, use `Stream::from(Cursor::new(string))`.
///
///   * **String**
///
///     Sets the `Content-Type` to `text/plain`. The string is used as the body
///     of the response, which is fixed size and not streamed. To stream a
///     string, use `Stream::from(Cursor::new(string))`.
///
///   * **&\[u8\]**
///
///     Sets the `Content-Type` to `application/octet-stream`. The slice
///     is used as the body of the response, which is fixed size and not
///     streamed. To stream a slice of bytes, use
///     `Stream::from(Cursor::new(data))`.
///
///   * **Vec&lt;u8>**
///
///     Sets the `Content-Type` to `application/octet-stream`. The vector's data
///     is used as the body of the response, which is fixed size and not
///     streamed. To stream a vector of bytes, use
///     `Stream::from(Cursor::new(vec))`.
///
///   * **File**
///
///     Responds with a streamed body containing the data in the `File`. No
///     `Content-Type` is set. To automatically have a `Content-Type` set based
///     on the file's extension, use [`NamedFile`](crate::fs::NamedFile).
///
///   * **()**
///
///     Responds with an empty body. No `Content-Type` is set.
///
///   * **Option&lt;T>**
///
///     If the `Option` is `Some`, the wrapped responder is used to respond to
///     the client. Otherwise, an `Err` with status **404 Not Found** is
///     returned and a warning is printed to the console.
///
///   * **Result&lt;T, E>**
///
///     If the `Result` is `Ok`, the wrapped `Ok` responder is used to respond
///     to the client. If the `Result` is `Err`, the wrapped `Err` responder is
///     used to respond to the client.
///
/// # Return Value
///
/// A `Responder` returns a `Result<Response, Status>`.
///
///   * An `Ok(Response)` indicates success. The `Response` will be written out
///     to the client.
///
///   * An `Err(Status)` indicates an error. The error catcher for `Status` will
///     be invoked to generate a response.
///
/// # Implementation Tips
///
/// This section describes a few best practices to take into account when
/// implementing `Responder`.
///
/// 1. Avoid Manual Implementations
///
///    The [`Responder` derive] is a powerful mechanism that eliminates the need
///    to implement `Responder` in almost all cases. We encourage you to explore
///    using the derive _before_ attempting to implement `Responder` directly.
///    It allows you to leverage existing `Responder` implementations through
///    composition, decreasing the opportunity for mistakes or performance
///    degradation.
///
/// 2. Joining and Merging
///
///    When chaining/wrapping other `Responder`s, start with
///    [`Response::build_from()`] and/or use the [`merge()`](Response::merge())
///    or [`join()`](Response::join()) methods on the `Response` or
///    `ResponseBuilder` struct. Ensure that you document merging or joining
///    behavior appropriately.
///
/// 3. Inspecting Requests
///
///    While tempting, a `Responder` that varies its functionality based on the
///    incoming request sacrifices its functionality being understood based
///    purely on its type. By implication, gleaning the functionality of a
///    _handler_ from its type signature also becomes more difficult. You should
///    avoid varying responses based on the `Request` value as much as possible.
///
/// 4. Perform `async` I/O in Constructors
///
///    The `Responder` trait is not an `async` trait. This is not an oversight.
///    Instead of performing `async` operations in what would be the
///    `respond_to` method, perform them in a constructor for the responder. As
///    an example, see [`NamedFile::open()`](crate::fs::NamedFile::open()),
///    which performs the requisite I/O for `NamedFile`'s responder.
///
/// ## Lifetimes
///
/// `Responder` has two lifetimes: `Responder<'r, 'o: 'r>`.
///
///   * `'r` bounds the reference to the `&'r Request`.
///
///   * `'o` bounds the returned `Response<'o>` to values that live at least as
///     long as the request.
///
///     This includes borrows from the `Request` itself (where `'o` would be
///     `'r` as in `impl<'r> Responder<'r, 'r>`) as well as `'static` data
///     (where `'o` would be `'static` as in `impl<'r> Responder<'r, 'static>`).
///
/// In practice, you are likely choosing between four signatures:
///
/// ```rust
/// # use rocket::request::Request;
/// # use rocket::response::{self, Responder};
/// # struct A;
/// // If the response contains no borrowed data.
/// impl<'r> Responder<'r, 'static> for A {
///     fn respond_to(self, _: &'r Request<'_>) -> response::Result<'static> {
///         todo!()
///     }
/// }
///
/// # struct B<'r>(&'r str);
/// // If the response borrows from the request.
/// impl<'r> Responder<'r, 'r> for B<'r> {
///     fn respond_to(self, _: &'r Request<'_>) -> response::Result<'r> {
///         todo!()
///     }
/// }
///
/// # struct C;
/// // If the response is or wraps a borrow that may outlive the request.
/// impl<'r, 'o: 'r> Responder<'r, 'o> for &'o C {
///     fn respond_to(self, _: &'r Request<'_>) -> response::Result<'o> {
///         todo!()
///     }
/// }
///
/// # struct D<R>(R);
/// // If the response wraps an existing responder.
/// impl<'r, 'o: 'r, R: Responder<'r, 'o>> Responder<'r, 'o> for D<R> {
///     fn respond_to(self, _: &'r Request<'_>) -> response::Result<'o> {
///         todo!()
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// # Example
///
/// Say that you have a custom type, `Person`:
///
/// ```rust
/// struct Person {
///     name: String,
///     age: u16
/// }
/// ```
///
/// You'd like to use `Person` as a `Responder` so that you can return a
/// `Person` directly from a handler:
///
/// ```rust
/// # #[macro_use] extern crate rocket;
/// # type Person = String;
/// #[get("/person/<id>")]
/// fn person(id: usize) -> Option<Person> {
///     # /*
///     Person::from_id(id)
///     # */ None
/// }
/// # fn main() {}
/// ```
///
/// You want the `Person` responder to set two header fields: `X-Person-Name`
/// and `X-Person-Age` as well as supply a custom representation of the object
/// (`Content-Type: application/x-person`) in the body of the response. The
/// following `Responder` implementation accomplishes this:
///
/// ```rust
/// # #[macro_use] extern crate rocket;
/// #
/// # #[derive(Debug)]
/// # struct Person { name: String, age: u16 }
/// #
/// use std::io::Cursor;
///
/// use rocket::request::Request;
/// use rocket::response::{self, Response, Responder};
/// use rocket::http::ContentType;
///
/// impl<'r> Responder<'r, 'static> for Person {
///     fn respond_to(self, req: &'r Request<'_>) -> response::Result<'static> {
///         let string = format!("{}:{}", self.name, self.age);
///         Response::build_from(string.respond_to(req)?)
///             .raw_header("X-Person-Name", self.name)
///             .raw_header("X-Person-Age", self.age.to_string())
///             .header(ContentType::new("application", "x-person"))
///             .ok()
///     }
/// }
/// #
/// # #[get("/person")]
/// # fn person() -> Person { Person { name: "a".to_string(), age: 20 } }
/// # fn main() {  }
/// ```
///
/// Note that the implementation could have instead been derived if structured
/// in a slightly different manner:
///
/// ```rust
/// use rocket::http::Header;
/// use rocket::response::Responder;
///
/// #[derive(Responder)]
/// #[response(content_type = "application/x-person")]
/// struct Person {
///     text: String,
///     name: Header<'static>,
///     age: Header<'static>,
/// }
///
/// impl Person {
///     fn new(name: &str, age: usize) -> Person {
///         Person {
///             text: format!("{}:{}", name, age),
///             name: Header::new("X-Person-Name", name.to_string()),
///             age: Header::new("X-Person-Age", age.to_string())
///         }
///     }
/// }
/// #
/// # #[rocket::get("/person")]
/// # fn person() -> Person { Person::new("Bob", 29) }
