Roadmap

Version 0.5

• More javadoc
• further reduce external dependencies

Version 0.6

• serialize raw lists. this will probably trigger a huge redesign WRT type adapters:
  • split type adapters in serializers and deserializers
  • deserializers will always work on the static type (because there is no run-time class yet)
  • serializers will always work on the run-time class, never on the static type (because the alternative would be a weird mix of both that is ridiculously hard to understand and doesn't provide any advantage)
• Some internal decoupling / refactoring
  • TypeAdapterProvider: Interface to use in other type adapters so they don't have to depend on the whole registry
    • with the above split, there would actually be a SerializerProvider and a DeserializerProvider
• Possibly: Request filters / interceptors. May instead result in documentation on how to achieve this with the current code.
• Maps / objects with arbitrary keys
• objects that allow arbitrary extra keys
• HTTP headers (request and response)

Future

specify path/querystring parameter defaults by the caller, not the parser

• check if this is even necessary. Querystring parsing can use OptionalField and path parameters can't be optional because then the route would not match
• provide a tutorial (I'll delay this until the API has stabilized)
