Overview
A Flutter/Dart package that automatically generates Dart classes from JSON strings, including parsing logic and serialization utilities. It simplifies working with JSON data by converting it into well-structured, type-safe Dart models. The tool supports both code generation and runtime parsing, making it ideal for rapid development and maintaining clean, consistent data models. It integrates seamlessly with Flutter projects via pub.dev.
