Is this project dead? #146

Closed JetForMe closed 3 years ago

JetForMe commented 3 years ago

Is this project dead? I really hope not. I prefer it to the "official" way of marshaling objects, but I'd love to get some new features.

@JetForMe not entirely dead. In hindsight we should have given commit access to basically every contributor along the way to maximize the possibility that the project lives on even after some original authors moved on.

The project is still used in multiple shipping apps written by various people. It arguably has better ergonomics than Codable in some ways. It can also still be quite a bit faster than Codable.

What features do you have in mind?

Glad to hear it! I agree the ergonomics are better.

By chance I happened to notice something that might be the feature I wanted: Array unmarshaling with discardingErrors.
