Breaking change with `encode` and `decode`?

[cgarciae]

I've recently checked the documentation and notice that the new functions encode and decode are being promoted as a replace for encodeJson and decodeJson.

1. No example was given on how to use decode
2. Can you still use encodeJson and decodeJson? If not, it would be better to deprecate methods and create new ones instead of refactoring as to give people a chance to migrate without braking their code.

Actually, encodeJson and decodeJson are newer than decode and encode, and they aren't replacements, but auxiliary functions

• encode and decode produces and consumes Map objects
• encodeJson and decodeJson produces and consumes String objects. They are useful if you don't want to invoke the JSON codec from dart:convert, to translate between JSON strings and Map objects.

Ohh, great to hear. I was surprise by the change tho. Thanks!
