/// A [Codec] encodes and (if supported) decodes data.
///
/// Codecs can be fused. For example fusing [json] and [utf8] produces
/// an encoder that can convert Json objects directly to bytes, or can decode
/// bytes directly to json objects.
///
/// Fused codecs generally attempt to optimize the operations and can be faster
/// than executing each step of an encoding separately.

  ///
  /// The input is decoded as if by `decoder.convert`.

  /// It may be stateful and should not be reused.

  ///
  /// It may be stateful and should not be reused.
  Converter<T, S> get decoder;

  /// Fuses `this` with `other`.
  ///
  /// When encoding, the resulting codec encodes with `this` before
  /// encoding with [other].
  ///
  /// When decoding, the resulting codec decodes with [other] before decoding
  /// with `this`.
  ///
  /// In some cases one needs to use the [inverted] codecs to be able to fuse
  /// them correctly. That is, the output type of `this` ([T]) must match the
  /// input type of the second codec [other].
  ///
  /// Examples:
  /// ```dart
  /// final jsonToBytes = json.fuse(utf8);
  /// List<int> bytes = jsonToBytes.encode(["json-object"]);
  /// var decoded = jsonToBytes.decode(bytes);
  /// assert(decoded is List && decoded[0] == "json-object");
  ///
  /// var inverted = json.inverted;
  /// var jsonIdentity = json.fuse(inverted);
  /// var jsonObject = jsonIdentity.encode(["1", 2]);
  /// assert(jsonObject is List && jsonObject[0] == "1" && jsonObject[1] == 2);
  /// ```
  // TODO(floitsch): use better example with line-splitter once that one is
