Note: this is a repackaging of Magnolia and Spray. It is a temporary project. We'd like to backport some changes made to the build to the bundled projects.
Combining Magnolia and Spray makes dealing with JSON fun! Bundling them together in one library is a quick and dirty fix for projects requiring dependency-free builds for targeting latest versions of Scala and/or platforms.
This bundle features:
- Automatic derivation of JSON formats
- Cross-compilation for Scala, Scala JS and Scala Native
- Zero external compile dependencies (other than compiler modules)
- Zero test dependencies
- Minimal build for fast iteration
It also has some limitations:
- Spray's product formats have been removed. Automatic derivation (provided by DerivedFormats which is mixed into DefaultJsonProtocol) is required.
- Most unit tests from both Magnolia and Spray have been discarded, use at your own risk!
Magnolia is developed by Jon Pretty.
It is released under the Apache 2.0 license.
Most of type-class (de)serialization code is nothing but a polished copy of what Debasish Ghosh made available with his SJSON library. These code parts therefore bear his copyright. Additionally the JSON AST model is heavily inspired by the one contributed by Jorge Ortiz to Databinder-Dispatch. [^1]
