+
+## Systems
+
+### Error Handling
+
+Ox provides ```ox::Error``` to report errors.
+```ox::Error``` is a struct that has overloaded operators to behave like an
+integer error code, plus some extra fields to enhance debuggability.
+If instantiated through the ```OxError(x)``` macro, it will also include the
+file and line of the error.
+The ```OxError(x)``` macro should only be used for the initial instantiation of
+an ```ox::Error```.
+
+In addition to ```ox::Error``` there is also the template ```ox::Result<T>```.
+```ox::Result``` simply wraps the type T value in a struct that also includes
+error information, which allows the returning of a value and an error without
+resorting to output parameters.
+
+If a function returns an ```ox::Error``` or ```ox::Result``` it should be
+declared as ```noexcept``` and all exceptions should be translated to an
+```ox::Error```.
+
+```ox::Result``` can be used as follows:
+
+```cpp
+ox::Result<int> foo(int i) noexcept {
+	if (i < 10) {
+		return i + 1; // implicitly calls ox::Result<T>::Result(T)
+	}
+	return OxError(1); // implicitly calls ox::Result<T>::Result(ox::Error)
+}
+
+int caller1() {
+	auto v = foo(argc);
+	if (v.error) {
+		return 1;
+	}
+	std::cout << v.value << '\n';
+	return 0;
+}
+
+int caller2() {
+	// it is also possible to capture the value and error in their own variables
+	auto [val, err] = foo(argc);
+	if (err) {
+		return 1;
+	}
+	std::cout << val << '\n';
+	return 0;
+}
+
+ox::Error caller3(int &i) {
+    return foo(i).moveTo(i);
+}
+
+ox::Error caller4(int &i) {
+    return foo(i).copyTo(i);
+}
+
+int caller5(int i) {
+    return foo(i).unwrap(); // unwrap will kill the program if there is an error
+}
+
+int caller6(int i) {
+    return foo(i).unwrapThrow(); // unwrap will throw if there is an error
+}
+
+int caller7(int i) {
+    return foo(i).or_value(0); // will return 0 if foo returned an error
+}
+
+ox::Result<uint64_t> caller8(int i) {
+    return foo(i).to<uint64_t>(); // will convert the result of foo to uint64_t
+}
+```
+
+Lastly, there are a few macros available to help in passing ```ox::Error```s
+back up the call stack, ```OX_RETURN_ERROR```, ```OX_THROW_ERROR```, and
+```OX_REQUIRE```.
+
+```OX_RETURN_ERROR``` is by far the more helpful of the two.
+```OX_RETURN_ERROR``` will return an ```ox::Error``` if it is not 0 and
+```OX_THROW_ERROR``` will throw an ```ox::Error``` if it is not 0.
+
+Since ```ox::Error``` is always nodiscard, you must do something with them.
+In rare cases, you may not have anything you can do with them or you may know
+the code will never fail in that particular instance.
+This should be used sparingly.
+
+
+```cpp
+void studioCode() {
+	auto [val, err] = foo(1);
+	OX_THROW_ERROR(err);
+	doStuff(val);
+}
+
+ox::Error engineCode() noexcept {
+	auto [val, err] = foo(1);
+	OX_RETURN_ERROR(err);
+	doStuff(val);
+	return {};
+}
+
+void anyCode() {
+    auto [val, err] = foo(1);
+    std::ignore = err;
+    doStuff(val);
+}
+```
+
+Both macros will also take the ```ox::Result``` directly:
+
+```cpp
+void studioCode() {
+	auto valerr = foo(1);
+	OX_THROW_ERROR(valerr);
+	doStuff(valerr.value);
+}
+
+ox::Error engineCode() noexcept {
+	auto valerr = foo(1);
+	OX_RETURN_ERROR(valerr);
+	doStuff(valerr.value);
+	return {};
+}
+```
+
+Ox also has the ```OX_REQUIRE``` macro, which will initialize a value if there is no error, and return if there is.
+It aims to somewhat emulate the ```?``` operator in Rust and Swift.
+
+Rust ```?``` operator:
+```rust
+fn f() -> Result<i32, i32> {
+  // do stuff
+}
+
+fn f2() -> Result<i32, i32> {
+  let i = f()?;
+  Ok(i + 4)
+}
+```
+
+```OX_REQUIRE```:
+```cpp
+ox::Result<int> f() noexcept {
+	// do stuff
+}
+
+ox::Result<int> f2() noexcept {
+	OX_REQUIRE(i, f()); // const auto [out, OX_CONCAT(oxRequire_err_, __LINE__)] = x; OX_RETURN_ERROR(OX_CONCAT(oxRequire_err_, __LINE__))
+	return i + 4;
+}
+```
+```OX_REQUIRE``` is not quite as versatile, but it should still cleanup a lot of otherwise less ideal code.
+
+```OX_REQUIRE``` by default creates a const, but there is also an ```OX_REQUIRE_M``` (OX_REQUIRE Mutable)
+variant for creating a non-const value.
+
+* ```OX_REQUIRE_M``` - OX_REQUIRE Mutable
+
+### Logging and Output
+
+Ox provides for logging and debug prints via the ```oxTrace```, ```oxDebug```, and ```oxError``` macros.
+Each of these also provides a format variation.
+
+Ox also provide ```oxOut``` and ```oxErr``` for printing to stdout and stderr.
+These are intended for permanent messages and always go to stdout and stderr.
+
+Tracing functions do not go to stdout unless the OXTRACE environment variable is set.
+They also print with the channel that they are on, along with file and line.
+
+Debug statements go to stdout and go to the logger on the "debug" channel.
+Where trace statements are intended to be written with thoughtfulness,
+debug statements are intended to be quick and temporary insertions.
+Debug statements trigger compilation failures if OX_NODEBUG is enabled when CMake is run,
+as it is on Jenkins builds, so ```oxDebug``` statements should never be checked in.
+This makes ```oxDebug``` preferable to other forms of logging, as temporary prints should
+never be checked in.
+
+```oxError``` always prints.
+It includes file and line, and is prefixed with a red "ERROR:".
+It should generally be used conservatively.
+It should be used only when there is an error that is not technically fatal, but
+the user almost certainly wants to know about it.
+
+```oxTrace``` and ```oxTracef```:
+```cpp
+void f(int x, int y) { // x = 9, y = 4
+	oxTrace("nostalgia.core.sdl.gfx") << "f:" << x << y; // Output: "f: 9 4"
+	oxTracef("nostalgia.core.sdl.gfx", "f: {}, {}", x, y); // Output: "f: 9, 4"
+}
+```
+
+```oxDebug``` and ```oxDebugf```:
+```cpp
+void f(int x, int y) { // x = 9, y = 4
+	oxDebug() << "f:" << x << y; // Output: "f: 9 4"
+	oxDebugf("f: {}, {}", x, y); // Output: "f: 9, 4"
+}
+```
+
+```oxError``` and ```oxErrorf```:
+```cpp
+void f(int x, int y) { // x = 9, y = 4
+	oxError() << "f:" << x << y; // Output: "ERROR: (<file>:<line>): f: 9 4"
+	oxErrorf("f: {}, {}", x, y); // Output: "ERROR: (<file>:<line>): f: 9, 4"
+}
+```
+
+### Model System
+
+Ox has a model system that provides a sort of manual reflection mechanism.
+
+Models require a model function for the type that you want to model.
+It is also good to provide a type name and type version number, though that is not required.
+
+The model function takes an instance of the type it is modelling and a template
+parameter type.
+The template parameter type must implement the API used in the models, but it
+can do anything with the data provided to it.
+
+Here is an example from the Nostalgia/Core package:
+
+```cpp
+struct NostalgiaPalette {
+	static constexpr auto TypeName = "net.drinkingtea.nostalgia.core.NostalgiaPalette";
+	static constexpr auto TypeVersion = 1;
+	ox::Vector<Color16> colors;
+};
+
+struct NostalgiaGraphic {
+	static constexpr auto TypeName = "net.drinkingtea.nostalgia.core.NostalgiaGraphic";
+	static constexpr auto TypeVersion = 1;
+	int8_t bpp = 0;
+	// rows and columns are really only used by TileSheetEditor
+	int rows = 1;
+	int columns = 1;
+	ox::FileAddress defaultPalette;
+	NostalgiaPalette pal;
+	ox::Vector<uint8_t> pixels;
+};
+
+template<typename T>
+constexpr ox::Error model(T *h, ox::CommonPtrWith<NostalgiaPalette> auto *pal) noexcept {
+	h->template setTypeInfo<NostalgiaPalette>();
+	// it is also possible to provide the type name and type version as function arguments
+	//h->setTypeInfo("net.drinkingtea.nostalgia.core.NostalgiaPalette", 1);
+	OX_RETURN_ERROR(h->field("colors", &pal->colors));
+	return {};
+}
+
+template<typename T>
+constexpr ox::Error model(T *h, ox::CommonPtrWith<NostalgiaGraphic> auto *ng) noexcept {
+	h->template setTypeInfo<NostalgiaGraphic>();
+	OX_RETURN_ERROR(h->field("bpp", &ng->bpp));
+	OX_RETURN_ERROR(h->field("rows", &ng->rows));
+	OX_RETURN_ERROR(h->field("columns", &ng->columns));
+	OX_RETURN_ERROR(h->field("defaultPalette", &ng->defaultPalette));
+	OX_RETURN_ERROR(h->field("pal", &ng->pal));
+	OX_RETURN_ERROR(h->field("pixels", &ng->pixels));
+	return {};
+}
+```
+
+The model system also provides for unions:
+
+```cpp
+
+#include <ox/model/types.hpp>
+
+class FileAddress {
+
+	template<typename T>
+	friend constexpr Error model(T*, ox::CommonPtrWith<FileAddress> auto*) noexcept;
+
+	public:
+		static constexpr auto TypeName = "net.drinkingtea.ox.FileAddress";
+
+		union Data {
+			static constexpr auto TypeName = "net.drinkingtea.ox.FileAddress.Data";
+			char *path;
+			const char *constPath;
+			uint64_t inode;
+		};
+
+	protected:
+		FileAddressType m_type = FileAddressType::None;
+		Data m_data;
+
+};
+
+template<typename T>
+constexpr Error model(T *h, ox::CommonPtrWith<FileAddress::Data> auto *obj) noexcept {
+	h->template setTypeInfo<FileAddress::Data>();
+	OX_RETURN_ERROR(h->fieldCString("path", &obj->path));
+	OX_RETURN_ERROR(h->fieldCString("constPath", &obj->path));
+	OX_RETURN_ERROR(h->field("inode", &obj->inode));
+	return {};
+}
+
+template<typename T>
+constexpr Error model(T *io, ox::CommonPtrWith<FileAddress> auto *fa) noexcept {
+	io->template setTypeInfo<FileAddress>();
+	// cannot read from object in Reflect operation
+	if constexpr(ox_strcmp(T::opType(), OpType::Reflect) == 0) {
+		int8_t type = 0;
+		OX_RETURN_ERROR(io->field("type", &type));
+		OX_RETURN_ERROR(io->field("data", UnionView(&fa->m_data, 0)));
+	} else {
+		auto type = static_cast<int8_t>(fa->m_type);
+		OX_RETURN_ERROR(io->field("type", &type));
+		fa->m_type = static_cast<FileAddressType>(type);
+		OX_RETURN_ERROR(io->field("data", UnionView(&fa->m_data, static_cast<int>(fa->m_type))));
+	}
+	return {};
+}
+
+```
+
+There are also macros in ```<ox/model/def.hpp>``` for simplifying the declaration of models:
+
+```cpp
+OX_MODEL_BEGIN(NostalgiaGraphic)
+	OX_MODEL_FIELD(bpp)
+	OX_MODEL_FIELD(rows)
+	OX_MODEL_FIELD(columns)
+	OX_MODEL_FIELD(defaultPalette)
+	OX_MODEL_FIELD(pal)
+	OX_MODEL_FIELD(pixels)
+oxModelEnd()
+```
+
+### Serialization
+
+Using the model system, Ox provides for serialization.
+Ox has MetalClaw and OrganicClaw as its serialization format options.
+MetalClaw is a custom binary format designed for minimal size.
+OrganicClaw is a wrapper around JsonCpp, chosen because it technically
+implements a superset of JSON.
+OrganicClaw requires support for 64 bit integers, whereas normal JSON
+technically does not.
+
+These formats do not currently support floats.
+
+There is also a wrapper format called Claw that provides a header at the
+beginning of the file and can dynamically switch between the two depending on
+what the header says is present.
+The Claw header also includes information about the type and type version of
+the data.
+
+Claw header: ```M1;net.drinkingtea.nostalgia.core.NostalgiaPalette;1;```
+
+That reads:
+
+* Format is Metal Claw, version 1
+* Type ID is net.drinkingtea.nostalgia.core.NostalgiaPalette
+* Type version is 1
+
