Enum Author

pub enum Author {
    Object {
        key: String,
    },
    Nested {
        author: Keyed,
    },
    Key(String),
    Empty {},
}

Struct representing an author link in OL.

There are several different formats in which we can find author references. This enum encapsulates them, and Serde automatically deserializes it into the appropraite variant. We then use the Author::key function to extract the key itself, no matter the variant.
