Unmarshaler interface #184

Closed lindlof closed 2 years ago

lindlof commented 3 years ago

The Marshaler interface is provided for marshaling custom types to ion. However, no interface is provided for unmarshaling from ion. Is there some technical reason to not provide this?

It would be immensely helpful for building types which are interoperable with both ion and json. Specifically, we're looking to have decimal and timestamp types which are interoperable with both ion and json.

As far as I remember (it's been a while), no I just never got around to it. 😅 Taking a quick look, I think it should just be a matter of defining the interface and dropping something like this in here?

Just jumping into 👍🏻 the need for this, I've thrown together a quick branch here that I'm happy to contribute back!

Thanks for putting together a quick branch @errorhandler! Can you please create a pull request for this? It would be easier for us to review it over there.
