/// An infallible form guard that records form fields and errors during parsing.

/// This form guard _never fails_. It should be use _only_ when the form
/// [`Context`] is required. In all other cases, prefer to use `T` directly.
///
/// # Usage
///
/// `Contextual` acts as a proxy for any form type, recording all submitted form
/// values and produced errors and associating them with their corresponding
/// field name. `Contextual` is particularly useful for rendering forms with
/// previously submitted values and errors associated with form input.
///
/// To retrieve the context for a form, use `Form<Contextual<'_, T>>` as a data
/// guard, where `T` implements `FromForm`. The `context` field contains the
/// form's [`Context`]:
///
/// ```rust
/// # use rocket::post;
/// # type T = String;
/// use rocket::form::{Form, Contextual};
///
/// #[post("/submit", data = "<form>")]
/// fn submit(form: Form<Contextual<'_, T>>) {
/// if let Some(ref value) = form.value {
/// // The form parsed successfully. `value` is the `T`.
/// }
///
/// // We can retrieve raw field values and errors.
/// let raw_id_value = form.context.field_value("id");
/// let id_errors = form.context.field_errors("id");
/// }
/// ```
///
/// `Context` serializes as a map, so it can be rendered in templates that
/// require `Serialize` types. See the [forms guide] for further usage details.

/// # Field Values
///
/// The original, submitted field value(s) for a _value_ field can be retrieved
/// via [`Context::field_value()`] or [`Context::field_values()`]. Data fields do not have
/// their values recorded. All submitted field names, including data field
/// names, can be retrieved via [`Context::fields()`].
///
/// # Field Errors

/// # Serialization
///

`Context` is nesting-aware for errors. When `Context` is queried for errors for
a field named `foo.bar`, it returns errors for fields that are a prefix of
`foo.bar`, namely `foo` and `foo.bar`. Similarly, if queried for errors for a
field named `foo.bar.baz`, errors for field `foo`, `foo.bar`, and `foo.bar.baz`
will be returned.
`Context` serializes as a map, so it can be rendered in templates that require
`Serialize` types. See
[`Context`](@api/rocket/form/struct.Context.html#Serialization) for details
about its serialization format. The [forms example], too, makes use of form
contexts, as well as every other forms feature.
