A complementary package for dart-json-mapper that enables seamless serialization and deserialization of Flutter-specific types such as Color, EdgeInsets, Size, and more. It extends the core dart-json-mapper functionality to support common Flutter data structures, making it easier to work with JSON in Flutter applications. The package is generated using code generation, ensuring high performance and type safety. It integrates smoothly with existing dart-json-mapper workflows.
Use cases
- Serializing Flutter UI components to JSON
- Deserializing configuration files with Flutter types
- Handling user preferences with complex data structures
- Building cross-platform apps with consistent data models
- Integrating with APIs that return Flutter-compatible objects
Key features
- Supports Flutter-specific types like Color and EdgeInsets
- Generated code ensures optimal performance
- Seamless integration with dart-json-mapper
- Cross-platform compatibility
- Type-safe JSON conversion
- Minimal boilerplate
Suitable for
- Flutter developers working with JSON data
- Apps requiring serialization of UI-related data
- Projects using dart-json-mapper for data binding
- Teams prioritizing code generation and performance
- Developers building reusable data models across platforms
Considerations
- Requires code generation setup
- Depends on dart-json-mapper being installed
- May need updates when Flutter types change
- Limited to supported Flutter types only
- Not suitable for runtime type reflection
