JSON Serialization

Based on json_example.dart, this shows full JSON and lean JSON.

@Zorphy(generateJson: true)
abstract class $Product {
  String get id;
  String get name;
  double get price;
  DateTime get createdAt;
}

Full vs lean JSON​

final product = Product(
  id: 'prod-001',
  name: 'Wireless Mouse',
  price: 29.99,
  createdAt: DateTime(2024, 1, 15),
);

final fullJson = product.toJson();
final leanJson = product.toJsonLean();
final restored = Product.fromJson(fullJson);

Lean JSON strips the _className_ metadata and is useful for API payloads that do not need Zorphy type info.
