/**
 * SECTION:gststructure
 * @title: GstStructure
 * @short_description: Generic structure containing fields of names and values
 * @see_also: #GstCaps, #GstMessage, #GstEvent, #GstQuery
 *
 * A #GstStructure is a collection of key/value pairs. The keys are expressed as
 * GQuarks and the values can be of any GType.
 *
 * In addition to the key/value pairs, a #GstStructure also has a name. The name
 * starts with a letter and can be filled by letters, numbers and any of
 * "/-_.:".
 *
 * #GstStructure is used by various GStreamer subsystems to store information in
 * a flexible and extensible way. A #GstStructure does not have a refcount
 * because it usually is part of a higher level object such as #GstCaps,
 * #GstMessage, #GstEvent, #GstQuery. It provides a means to enforce mutability
 * using the refcount of the parent with the gst_structure_set_parent_refcount()
 * method.
 *
 * A #GstStructure can be created with gst_structure_new_empty() or
 * gst_structure_new(), which both take a name and an optional set of key/value
 * pairs along with the types of the values.
 *
 * Field values can be changed with gst_structure_set_value() or
 * gst_structure_set().
 *
 * Field values can be retrieved with gst_structure_get_value() or the more
 * convenient gst_structure_get_*() functions.
 *
 * Fields can be removed with gst_structure_remove_field() or
 * gst_structure_remove_fields().
 *
 * Strings in structures must be ASCII or UTF-8 encoded. Other encodings are not
 * allowed. Strings may be %NULL however.
 *
 * ## The serialization format
 *
 * GstStructure serialization format serialize the GstStructure name,
 * keys/GType/values in a comma separated list with the structure name as first
 * field without value followed by separated key/value pairs in the form
 * `key=value`, for example:
 *
 * ```
 * a-structure, key=value
 * ````
 *
 * The values type will be inferred if not explicitly specified with the
 * `(GTypeName)value` syntax, for example the following struct will have one
 * field called 'is-string' which has the string 'true' as a value:
 *
 * ```
 * a-struct, field-is-string=(string)true, field-is-boolean=true
 * ```
 *
 * *Note*: without specifying `(string), `field-is-string` type would have been
 * inferred as boolean.
 *
 * *Note*: we specified `(string)` as a type even if `gchararray` is the actual
 * GType name as for convenience some well known types have been aliased or
 * abbreviated.
 *
 * To avoid specifying the type, you can give some hints to the "type system".
 * For example to specify a value as a double, you should add a decimal (ie. `1`
 * is an `int` while `1.0` is a `double`).
 *
 * *Note*: when a structure is serialized with #gst_structure_to_string, all
 * values are explicitly typed.
 *
 * Some types have special delimiters:
 *
 * - [GstValueArray](GST_TYPE_ARRAY) are inside "less and greater than" (`<` and
 *   `>`). For example `a-structure, array=<1, 2, 3>
 * - Ranges are inside brackets (`[` and `]`). For example `a-structure,
 *   range=[1, 6, 2]` 1 being the min value, 6 the maximum and 2 the step. To
 *   specify a #GST_TYPE_INT64_RANGE you need to explicitly specify it like:
 *   `a-structure, a-int64-range=(gint64) [1, 5]`
 * - [GstValueList](GST_TYPE_LIST) are inside curly brackets (`{` and `}`).
 *   For example `a-structure, list={1, 2, 3}`
 * - [GStrv](G_TYPE_STRV) are inside "less and greater than" (`<` and
 *   `>`) and each string is double-quoted.
 *   For example `a-structure, strv=(GStrv)<"foo", "bar">`. Since 1.26.0.
 *
 * Structures are delimited either by a null character `\0` or a semicolon `;`
 * the latter allowing to store multiple structures in the same string (see
 * #GstCaps).
 *
 * Quotes are used as "default" delimiters and can be used around any types that
 * don't use other delimiters (for example `a-struct, i=(int)"1"`). They are use
 * to allow adding spaces or special characters (such as delimiters,
 * semicolumns, etc..) inside strings and you can use backslashes `\` to escape
 * characters inside them, for example:
 *
 * ```
 * a-struct, special="\"{[(;)]}\" can be used inside quotes"
 * ```
 *
 * They also allow for nested structure, such as:
 *
 * ```
 * a-struct, nested=(GstStructure)"nested-struct, nested=true"
 * ```
 *
 * Since 1.20, nested structures and caps can be specified using brackets (`[`
 * and `]`), for example:
 *
 * ```
 * a-struct, nested=[nested-struct, nested=true]
 * ```
 *
 * > *note*: gst_structure_to_string() won't use that syntax for backward
 * > compatibility reason, gst_structure_serialize_full() has been added for
 * > that purpose.
