json_serializer says it's only for server? probably works with Flutter?

Should we expect json_serializer to work with Flutter? If so, what's a good way to indicate this? I see SERVER only now.

We need metadata to enable this. See thees: https://github.com/dart-lang/pub-dartlang-dart/labels/Area%3A%20metadata%20needed

curious, why? if this library doesn't use dart:html, and doesn't use dart:mirrors, it should work in Flutter, right?

[kevmoo]

It uses mirrors – this is how we read values of annotations

[sethladd]

Ah, the CLI uses mirrors, right?

If so, then we can be more specific: if the entry points under lib/ don't use dart:html and dart:mirrors, then it gets the Flutter badge. Would that be correct?

Yes!

It's not a CLI. It's a library that plugs into source_gen that plugs into build.

The package that is referenced by user code (flutter, web, etc) is here https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/json_annotation

That is (correctly) labeled as working everywhere.

So json_serializer isn't a "user-facing" utility? I'm actually supposed to use it with build ?

Yup. See the contents of tool.

We need more docs here. It's on my list!
