Encodes a typed input (the schema's Type) against a schema, returning an Option that is Some with the encoded value on success or None for schema mismatches.

When to use

Use when you already have a value typed as the schema's Type and only need to know whether encoding succeeded.

Details

For unknown input use encodeUnknownOption. Options may be provided either when creating the encoder or when applying it; application options override creation options.

Gotchas

Only causes made entirely of schema issues are converted to None. Causes that contain defects, interruptions, or other non-schema reasons throw instead.
