+//! ## Cargo features
+//!
+//! `crimp` has several optional features, all of which are enabled by
+//! default:
+//!
+//! * `json`: Adds `Request::json` and `Response::as_json` methods
+//!   which can be used for convenient serialisation of
+//!   request/response bodies using `serde_json`. This feature adds a
+//!   dependency on the `serde` and `serde_json` crates.
+//!
+//! * `basic_auth`: Adds a `Request::basic_auth` utility method to set
+//!   a basic authentication header on the request. This feature adds
+//!   a dependency on the `base64` crate.
