Prototype JSON::Coder

[etiennebarrie]

This is still a WIP.

This API allows to use strict mode while defining how to serialize custom objects in a non-global way (without defining to_json on the objects' classes).
It translates into another primitive object supported by JSON and leaves the serialization to the JSON gem.

I love this. That's exactly what I'd need to make sure my Time objects are encoded as ISO8601 with millisecond precision without monkey patching.

Doing this just doesn't feel right:

class Time
  def to_json(*a)
    iso8601(3).to_json(*a)
  end
end

So far I've been relying on Oj's time_format: :xmlschema, second_precision: 3.
