Provide a trait (and Attribute role) for JSON Marshal/Unmarshal where the JSON names aren't Raku identifiers.
use JSON::Name;
class MyClass {
# The attribute meta object will have the role JSON::Name::NamedAttribute
# applied and "666.evil.name" will be stored in it's json-name attribute
has $.nice-name is json-name('666.evil.name');
}
This is released as a dependency of JSON::Marshal and JSON::Unmarshal in order to save duplication, it is intended to store a separate JSON name for an attribute where the name of the JSON attribute might be changed, either for aesthetic reasons or the name is not a valid Raku identifier. It will of course also be needed in classes thar are going to use JSON::Marshal or JSON::Unmarshal for serialisation/de-serialisation.
Of course it could be used in other modules for a similar purpose.
Assuming you have a working Rakudo installation you should be able to install this with zef :
# From the source directory
zef install .
# Remote installation
zef install JSON::Name
Suggestions/patches are welcomed via github at https://github.com/jonathanstowe/JSON-Name
