Don't know how to jsonify Complex #84

Open markjreed opened 1 year ago

So it seems like Complex should be in the list, but is there any way around this without modifying the code to JSON::Fast itself? The type handling appears to be all hard-coded. Seems like falling back to whatever the stringification is would make sense.

Pretty sure JSON does not know complex numbers so there is no point in "jsonifying" them.

This module is not a serializer that uses JSON format under the hood - its very purpose is to convert from and to JSON-eligible data.

@markjreed please check out the branch https://github.com/timo/json_fast/tree/converter_func and see if the proposed API can help with your issue

@2colours Well, I wasn't looking for a way to round-trip arbitrary types through JSON and have them come through unscathed, at least not without writing some extra code. Just looking for a way to hook in that extra code without rewriting the module.

@timo the converter_func branch works a treat, thanks!
