Getting Started #
This package provides a unified way to work with Dart data type serialization.
All converters implement the JsonConverter interface which has two methods:

toJson, which serializes the value.
fromJson, which deserializes the value.

Each converter in this package has a nullable and non-nullable variation.
A value passed to the non-nullable converter should be also non-nullable.
The name of the nullable converter starts with optional. It may return a
nullable value.
For a complete example, see Example tab.

And use any of the currently available converters, currently featuring:

BoolConverter, which converts a bool to an int.

serializes each value in the Iterable with that converter.

Also, you can create your own converters and use them, by implementing the
JsonConverter interface.
