//! Parent-child relationships for Bevy entities.
//!
//! You should use the tools in this crate
//! whenever you want to organize your entities in a hierarchical fashion,
//! to make groups of entities more manageable,
//! or to propagate properties throughout the entity hierarchy.
//!
//! This crate introduces various tools, including a [plugin]
//! for managing parent-child relationships between entities.
//! It provides two components, [`Parent`] and [`Children`],
//! to store references to related entities.
//! It also provides [command] and [world] API extensions
//! to set and clear those relationships.
//!
//! More advanced users may also appreciate
//! [query extension methods] to traverse hierarchies,
//! and [events] to notify hierarchical changes.
//! There is also a [diagnostic plugin] to validate property propagation.
//!
//! # Hierarchy management
//!
//! The methods defined in this crate fully manage
//! the components responsible for defining the entity hierarchy.
//! Mutating these components manually may result in hierarchy invalidation.
//!
//! Hierarchical relationships are always managed symmetrically.
//! For example, assigning a child to an entity
//! will always set the parent in the other,
//! and vice versa.
//! Similarly, unassigning a child in the parent
//! will always unassign the parent in the child.
//!
//! ## Despawning entities
//!
//! The commands and methods provided by `bevy_ecs` to despawn entities
//! are not capable of automatically despawning hierarchies of entities.
//! In most cases, these operations will invalidate the hierarchy.
//! Instead, you should use the provided [hierarchical despawn extension methods].
//!
//! [command]: BuildChildren
//! [diagnostic plugin]: ValidParentCheckPlugin
//! [events]: HierarchyEvent
//! [hierarchical despawn extension methods]: DespawnRecursiveExt
//! [plugin]: HierarchyPlugin
//! [query extension methods]: HierarchyQueryExt
//! [world]: BuildWorldChildren
