/**
 * A Codec that can serialize and deserialize to and from a given {@link #getCqlType() CQL type} and
 * a given {@link #getJavaType() Java Type}.
 *
 * <p>
 *
 * <h3>Serializing and deserializing</h3>
 *
 * <p>Two methods handle the serialization and deserialization of Java types into CQL types
 * according to the native protocol specifications:
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>{@link #serialize(Object, ProtocolVersion)}: used to serialize from the codec's Java type
 * to a {@link ByteBuffer} instance corresponding to the codec's CQL type;
 * <li>{@link #deserialize(ByteBuffer, ProtocolVersion)}: used to deserialize a {@link ByteBuffer}
 * instance corresponding to the codec's CQL type to the codec's Java type.
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>
 *
 * <h3>Formatting and parsing</h3>
 *
 * <p>Two methods handle the formatting and parsing of Java types into CQL strings:
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>{@link #format(Object)}: formats the Java type handled by the codec as a CQL string;
 * <li>{@link #parse(String)}; parses a CQL string into the Java type handled by the codec.
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>
 *
 * <h3>Inspection</h3>
 *
 * <p>Codecs also have the following inspection methods:
 *
 * <p>
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>{@link #accepts(DataType)}: returns true if the codec can deserialize the given CQL type;
 * <li>{@link #accepts(TypeToken)}: returns true if the codec can serialize the given Java type;
 * <li>{@link #accepts(Object)}; returns true if the codec can serialize the given object.
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>
 *
 * <h3>Implementation notes</h3>
 *
 * <p>
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>TypeCodec implementations <em>must</em> be thread-safe.
 * <li>TypeCodec implementations <em>must</em> perform fast and never block.
 * <li>TypeCodec implementations <em>must</em> support all native protocol versions; it is not
 * possible to use different codecs for the same types but under different protocol versions.
 * <li>TypeCodec implementations must comply with the native protocol specifications; failing to
 * do so will result in unexpected results and could cause the driver to crash.
 * <li>TypeCodec implementations <em>should</em> be stateless and immutable.
 * <li>TypeCodec implementations <em>should</em> interpret {@code null} values and empty
 * ByteBuffers (i.e. <code>{@link ByteBuffer#remaining()} == 0</code>) in a
 * <em>reasonable</em> way; usually, {@code NULL} CQL values should map to {@code null}
 * references, but exceptions exist; e.g. for varchar types, a {@code NULL} CQL value maps to
 * a {@code null} reference, whereas an empty buffer maps to an empty String. For collection
 * types, it is also admitted that {@code NULL} CQL values map to empty Java collections
 * instead of {@code null} references. In any case, the codec's behavior in respect to {@code
 * null} values and empty ByteBuffers should be clearly documented.
 * <li>TypeCodec implementations that wish to handle Java primitive types <em>must</em> be
 * instantiated with the wrapper Java class instead, and implement the appropriate interface
 * (e.g. {@link TypeCodec.PrimitiveBooleanCodec} for primitive {@code
 * boolean} types; there is one such interface for each Java primitive type).
 * <li>When deserializing, TypeCodec implementations should not consume {@link ByteBuffer}
 * instances by performing relative read operations that modify their current position; codecs
 * should instead prefer absolute read methods, or, if necessary, they should {@link
 * ByteBuffer#duplicate() duplicate} their byte buffers prior to reading them.
 * </ol>
