x.x.x (not yet released)

3.0.3 (2024-11-09)

• Make Hint a Stringable class for easier debugging.
• Improve InvalidArgumentException messages for easier debugging.

3.0.2 (2024-07-22)

• Add generic template types to the Hint object.
• Fix behavior of ALLOW_OBJECT hint for non-empty lists.

3.0.1 (2024-06-14)

• Refactor JsonCodec::codecFor() to be non-recursive. This simplifies the implementation of extensions without worrying about recursive calls to the subclass method.
• Gracefully handle embedded stdClass objects passed to ::newFromJsonArray().

3.0.0 (2024-06-12)

• Add new class hint mechanism to generalize the method added in 2.1.0 to augment hints. Class hints include:
  • Hint::LIST to indicate an array of objects of the hinted class
  • Hint::STDCLASS to indicate an stdClass object whose properties are objects of the hinted class
  • Hint::USE_SQUARE and Hint::ALLOW_OBJECT to customize encoding of list-like objects.
  • Hint::INHERITED to allow a superclass codec to handle instantiation of its subclass objects.
• The signatures of any method accepting or returning a class hint have been broadened to include the new Hint type. This is a breaking change for methods where a hint was an argument.

2.2.3 (2024-06-03)

• Ensure class aliases are resolved when looking up type hints and class codecs (T353883).
• Update dev dependencies.

2.2.2 (2023-11-17)

• Allow psr/container ^2.0.2 (as well as ^1.1.2)
• Export JsonCodec::TYPE_ANNOTATION to subclasses who might wish to reassign where the type information is put.

2.2.1 (2023-10-03)

• Allow symfony/polyfill-php81 ^1.27.0.

2.2.0 (2023-10-03)

• Add additional protected methods to JsonCodec to allow subclasses to further customize the encoding used.
• Allow objects to have numeric properties.
• Ensure objects with numeric properties are consistently encoded using the '{...}' JSON syntax.

2.1.0 (2023-10-02)

• Allow ::jsonClassHintFor() to return a class-string suffixed with [] to indicate a list or homogeneous array of the given type.

2.0.0 (2023-10-02)

• JsonCodec::addCodecFor() is added to provide the ability to serialize/deserialize objects which don't implement JsonCodecable.

1.0.0

• Initial release.
