# jsonexample

A Flutter sample app that deserializes a set of JSON strings using three
different libraries: `dart:convert`, `json_serializable`, and
`built_value`.

## Goals for this sample

* Help you decide which of the three most common libraries for
  deserializing JSON is right for your project.
* Provide you with example code for deserializing:
  * Simple and nested objects
  * Lists of primitive values
  * Maps containing primitive values

## The important bits

### `json_strings.dart`

The actual JSON to be deserialized.

### `dart_convert`/`json_serializable`/`dart_convert`

These folders contain code used to deserialize the simple and complex
object models using one of the three libraries. They do the work of
instantiating models and populating their fields.

### `tab_pages.dart`

Each tab page in the app deserializes one type of data with one library.
These Widgets show what app code using the above libraries might look like.
