"""TUF role metadata model.

This module provides container classes for TUF role metadata, including methods
to read and write from and to file, perform TUF-compliant metadata updates, and
create and verify signatures.

The metadata model supports any custom serialization format, defaulting to JSON
as wireline format and Canonical JSON for reproducible signature creation and
verification.
Custom serializers must implement the abstract serialization interface defined
in 'tuf.api.serialization', and may use the [to|from]_dict convenience methods
available in the class model.
