interface SerialFormat
Represents an instance of a serialization format that can interact with KSerializer and is a supertype of all entry points for a serialization. It does not impose any restrictions on a serialized form or underlying storage, neither it exposes them. Concrete data types and API for user-interaction are responsibility of a concrete subclass or subinterface, e.g. StringFormat, BinaryFormat or Json.
Typically, formats have their specific Encoder and Decoder implementations as private inner classes and do not expose them.
