json_mapper

A slightly improved JSON mapper for Dart

Explanation

This is a json mapper for Dart derived largely from redstone_mapper. It's designed to take care of several issues with redstone_mapper. It contains both a dynamic (reflection-based), and static mapper so it's suitable for any environment.

• redstone_mapper depends on redstone which pulls in a bunch of old versions of packages and was generally poorly decoupled from the actual redstone-specific code.
• redstone_mapper can't handle generic classes very well.
• redstone_mapper makes it more difficult than necessary to get "raw" metadata. I've tried to make getting setters, constructors, and getters as easy as possible.
• I'm making an effort to create unit tests.

Example

import 'package:json_mapper/mapper_factory.dart';
import 'package:json_mapper/metadata.dart';
import 'package:json_mapper/json_mapper.dart';

class ThisIsMappable extends Object with Encodable<ThisIsMappable> {
  @Field(model: '_id') String id;
  @Field() String firstName;
}

main() {
  bootstrapMapper();
  final valueToEncode = new ThisIsMappable()
      ..id = 'foo'
      ..firstName = 'bar';
  final encodedValue = valueToEncode.encode();
  final decoder = new StaticMapper<ThisIsMappable>();
  final decodedValue = decoder.decode(encodedValue);
}
