A companion package for circe
This basic package just provides an implicit class which allows you to use a created decoder directly to manage strings.
Current functionality supports three stories:
- You have a JSON string you'd like to make some case class D
- You have a case class D you'd like to turn into a JSON string
- You have a JSON string of case class D that you'd like to turn back into case class D
When you create a decoder, you can call from that decoder directly
myDecoder.Input.getCaseClass(string)
this makes it nice when mapping over a full dataset, making your code look much simpler
textDataset.flatMap(myDecoder.Input.getCaseClass) will return a Dataset[D]
If you want to turn a string directly into another JSON string, by passing the case class step, you'd call
myDecoder.Input.getJsonString(string)
and when you have that new JSON string representing case class D then you can call myDecoder.Output.getCaseClass(newString) and you
will find that you are now back in the case class D from your getJsonString value from Input
