2.1.0

2.1.0

This release moves some code around and introduces the new keyword argument as_json: bool that, if True, dumps the soup to json string right from the function.

Feature

• Add as_json keyword parameter to convert

Internal

• Moves classes.typeclass functions to transformer.py and renames the convert function to transform. This is so that we can have a new convert function in our __init__.py with the new parameter and this feature will not introduce a breaking change.
• Fix CI after main branch change
