+//! Substrate genesis config builder
+//!
+//! This Runtime API allows to construct `GenesisConfig`, in particular:
+//! - serialize the runtime default `GenesisConfig` struct into json format,
+//! - put the GenesisConfig struct into the storage. Internally this operation calls
+//!   `GenesisBuild::build` function
+//! for all runtime pallets, which is typically provided by pallet's author.
+//! - deserialize the GenesisConfig from given json blob and put GenesisConfig into the state
+//!   storage. Allows to build
+//! customized configuration.
+//!
+//! Providing externalities with empty storage and putting GenesisConfig into storage allows to
+//! catch and build the raw storage of `GenesisConfig` which is the foundation for genesis block.
