Hey! Why yet another JSON serialization library? We already have SuperJSON, right?
Yes. And SuperJSON is great; I use it a lot. However, things got tricky for me when I had really complex data types, covered with many model classes, often deeply nested and referencing each other, where I needed to serialize it all from/to JSON and save it on the disk. I had to essentially maintain two formats of my data - "serializable data" and TypeScript classes matching this data. It was quite a pain.
I've tried to solve it with modern decorators, making the entire process more declarative and having way less boilerplate.
