<Purpose>
  A central location for all format-related checking of securesystemslib
  objects. Note: 'formats.py' depends heavily on 'schema.py', so the
  'schema.py' module should be read and understood before tackling this module.

  'formats.py' can be broken down into three sections.  (1) Schemas and object
  matching.  (2) Classes that represent Role Metadata and help produce
  correctly formatted files.  (3) Functions that help produce or verify
  securesystemslib objects.

  The first section deals with schemas and object matching based on format.
  There are two ways of checking the format of objects.  The first method
  raises a 'securesystemslib.exceptions.FormatError' exception if the match
  fails and the other returns a Boolean result.

  securesystemslib.formats.<SCHEMA>.check_match(object)
  securesystemslib.formats.<SCHEMA>.matches(object)

  Example:

  rsa_key = {'keytype': 'rsa'
             'keyid': 34892fc465ac76bc3232fab
             'keyval': {'public': 'public_key',
                        'private': 'private_key'}

  securesystemslib.formats.RSAKEY_SCHEMA.check_match(rsa_key)
  securesystemslib.formats.RSAKEY_SCHEMA.matches(rsa_key)

  In this example, if a dict key or dict value is missing or incorrect,
  the match fails.  There are numerous variations of object checking
  provided by 'formats.py' and 'schema.py'.

  The second section deals with the role metadata classes.  There are
  multiple top-level roles, each with differing metadata formats.
  Example:

  root_object = securesystemslib.formats.RootFile.from_metadata(root_metadata_file)
  targets_metadata = securesystemslib.formats.TargetsFile.make_metadata(...)

  The input and output of these classes are checked against their respective
  schema to ensure correctly formatted metadata.

  The last section contains miscellaneous functions related to the format of
  securesystemslib objects.
  Example:

  signable_object = make_signable(unsigned_object)

    <Purpose>
      Encode 'object' in canonical JSON form, as specified at
      http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Canonical_JSON .  It's a restricted
      dialect of JSON in which keys are always lexically sorted,
      there is no whitespace, floats aren't allowed, and only quote
      and backslash get escaped.  The result is encoded in UTF-8,
      and the resulting bits are passed to output_function (if provided),
      or joined into a string and returned.

      Note: This function should be called prior to computing the hash or
      signature of a JSON object in securesystemslib.  For example, generating a
      signature of a signing role object such as 'ROOT_SCHEMA' is required to
      ensure repeatable hashes are generated across different json module
      versions and platforms.  Code elsewhere is free to dump JSON objects in any
      format they wish (e.g., utilizing indentation and single quotes around
      object keys).  These objects are only required to be in "canonical JSON"
      format when their hashes or signatures are needed.

      >>> encode_canonical("")
      '""'
      >>> encode_canonical([1, 2, 3])
      '[1,2,3]'
      >>> encode_canonical([])
      '[]'
      >>> encode_canonical({"A": [99]})
      '{"A":[99]}'
      >>> encode_canonical({"x" : 3, "y" : 2})
      '{"x":3,"y":2}'

    <Arguments>
      object:
        The object to be encoded.

      output_function:
        The result will be passed as arguments to 'output_function'
        (e.g., output_function('result')).

    <Exceptions>
      securesystemslib.exceptions.FormatError, if 'object' cannot be encoded or
      'output_function' is not callable.

    <Side Effects>
      The results are fed to 'output_function()' if 'output_function' is set.

    <Returns>
      A string representing the 'object' encoded in canonical JSON form.
