//! Contains the [`Array`] and [`MutableArray`] trait objects declaring arrays,
//! as well as concrete arrays (such as [`Utf8Array`] and [`MutableUtf8Array`]).
//!
//! Fixed-length containers with optional values
//! that are layed in memory according to the Arrow specification.
//! Each array type has its own `struct`. The following are the main array types:
//! * [`PrimitiveArray`] and [`MutablePrimitiveArray`], an array of values with a fixed length such as integers, floats, etc.
//! * [`BooleanArray`] and [`MutableBooleanArray`], an array of boolean values (stored as a bitmap)
//! * [`Utf8Array`] and [`MutableUtf8Array`], an array of variable length utf8 values
//! * [`BinaryArray`] and [`MutableBinaryArray`], an array of opaque variable length values
//! * [`ListArray`] and [`MutableListArray`], an array of arrays (e.g. `[[1, 2], None, [], [None]]`)
//! * [`StructArray`] and [`MutableStructArray`], an array of arrays identified by a string (e.g. `{"a": [1, 2], "b": [true, false]}`)
//! All immutable arrays implement the trait object [`Array`] and that can be downcasted
//! to a concrete struct based on [`PhysicalType`](crate::datatypes::PhysicalType) available from [`Array::data_type`].
//! All immutable arrays are backed by [`Buffer`](crate::buffer::Buffer) and thus cloning and slicing them is `O(1)`.
//!
//! Most arrays contain a [`MutableArray`] counterpart that is neither clonable nor slicable, but
//! can be operated in-place.
