jsonut 0.2.0

A minimal utility kit for working with JSON in a typesafe manner.

0.2.0

• Added .as and .asOrNull methods to JsonAny for inference casting:

  final class Employee {
    const Employee({required this.name});
    final String name;
  }
  
  final object = JsonObject.parse('{"name": "John Doe"}');
  final employee = Employee(name: object['name'].as());
  

• Breaking change: <JsonAny>.{type}Or renamed to <JsonAny>.{type}OrNull to better reflect the behavior of the method, and be idiomatic with other Dart APIs:

  - print(any.stringOr('name'));
  + print(any.stringOrNull('name'));
  

• Breaking change: <JsonType>.parse only throws a FormatException if the input is not valid JSON, and an ArgumentError if the input is not the expected type. This makes the behavior more consistent with other Dart APIs.

• Breaking change: Reduced the API of JsonObject to remove .{type}() methods in favor of just providing a custom [] operator tht returns JsonAny instances.

  - print(person.string('name'));
  + print(person['name'].string());
  

  Saving roughly ~2 characters per call wasn't worth the additional complexity.

0.1.0

• Initial development release.
