Not quite the same, but I've been using dson

Have you looked it over?
Did not know about that one. From looking through the source
it seems to have a different goal though. dson looks like it
is an alternative to std.json. Painlessjson is meant to make
it easier to use json, by automatically (de)serializing
objects/structs and converting them to (and from) json.
For example:
class Point
{
double x;
double y;
}
void main()
{
auto pnt = new Point( 1,2 );
auto jsonPnt = toJSON( pnt ); // Returns a JSONValue( "{ "x":
1.0, "y": 2.0 }" )
auto nPnt = fromJSON!Point( jsonPnt );
assert( nPnt.x == pnt.x && nPnt.y == pnt.y );
}
I guess it would be interesting to use dson instead of
std.json as a basis for Painlessjson.
I believe we should continue using std.json, and instead push
for taking dson (or its lessons learned) into phobos if it's a
better implementation. The best general solution should be the
one that is available out of the box.
Yeah, I was wondering, if you have to import std.json and use it
as a basis for painlessjson, is it really so big an improvement?
Especially since std.json might be replaced (sooner or later).
I'd prefer an "easy to use" implementation that replaces std.json
completely.
(I don't want to slight the work done on painlessjson and it
might come in handy here and there. Maybe it could be added to
the std.json module?)
