1 // Package json provides functions for serializing cty types and values in
2 // JSON format, and for decoding them again.
4 // Since the cty type system is a superset of the JSON type system,
5 // round-tripping through JSON is lossy unless type information is provided
6 // both at encoding time and decoding time. Callers of this package are
7 // therefore suggested to define their expected structure as a cty.Type
8 // and pass it in consistently both when encoding and when decoding, though
9 // default (type-lossy) behavior is provided for situations where the precise
10 // representation of the data is not significant.
