/**
 * SECTION:gststructure
 * @short_description: Generic structure containing fields of names and values
 * @see_also: #GstCaps, #GstMessage, #GstEvent, #GstQuery
 *
 * A #GstStructure is a collection of key/value pairs. The keys are expressed
 * as GQuarks and the values can be of any GType.
 *
 * In addition to the key/value pairs, a #GstStructure also has a name. The name
 * starts with a letter and can be filled by letters, numbers and any of "/-_.:".
 *
 * #GstStructure is used by various GStreamer subsystems to store information
 * in a flexible and extensible way. A #GstStructure does not have a refcount
 * because it usually is part of a higher level object such as #GstCaps,
 * #GstMessage, #GstEvent, #GstQuery. It provides a means to enforce mutability
 * using the refcount of the parent with the gst_structure_set_parent_refcount()
 * method.
 *
 * A #GstStructure can be created with gst_structure_new_empty() or
 * gst_structure_new(), which both take a name and an optional set of
 * key/value pairs along with the types of the values.
 *
 * Field values can be changed with gst_structure_set_value() or
 * gst_structure_set().
 *
 * Field values can be retrieved with gst_structure_get_value() or the more
 * convenient gst_structure_get_*() functions.
 *
 * Fields can be removed with gst_structure_remove_field() or
 * gst_structure_remove_fields().
 *
 * Strings in structures must be ASCII or UTF-8 encoded. Other encodings are
 * not allowed. Strings may be %NULL however.
 *
 * Be aware that the current #GstCaps / #GstStructure serialization into string
 * has limited support for nested #GstCaps / #GstStructure fields. It can only
 * support one level of nesting. Using more levels will lead to unexpected
 * behavior when using serialization features, such as gst_caps_to_string() or
 * gst_value_serialize() and their counterparts.
