"""TUF role metadata de/serialization.
This sub-package provides abstract base classes and concrete implementations to
serialize and deserialize TUF role metadata and metadata parts.
Any custom de/serialization implementations should inherit from the abstract
base classes defined in this __init__.py module.
- Metadata de/serializers are used to convert to and from wireline formats.
- Signed serializers are used to canonicalize data for cryptographic signatures
generation and verification.
