Overview
A Flutter/Dart package enabling polymorphic JSON serialization using annotations from json_serializable. It extends the functionality of json_serializable to support type-safe, runtime-aware serialization and deserialization of complex object hierarchies, particularly useful in sensor data collection and analysis. Designed for use with the CARP (Context-Awareness Platform) framework, it simplifies handling of dynamic data structures in cross-platform applications. The package supports all major platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Use cases
- Sensor data modeling
- Dynamic object hierarchy serialization
- Cross-platform data exchange
- CARP framework integration
- Runtime type-safe JSON parsing
Key features
- Polymorphic serialization
- Annotation-based code generation
- Supports json_serializable
- Runtime type detection
- Multi-platform compatibility
- Seamless integration with CARP
Suitable for
- Developers using CARP framework
- Applications requiring dynamic data models
- JSON-heavy cross-platform apps
- Data scientists working with sensor data
- Teams needing type-safe serialization
Considerations
- Requires json_serializable setup
- Limited to classes annotated with @JsonSerializable
- May increase build time
- Needs careful handling of inheritance hierarchies
- Best suited for structured, hierarchical data
