Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/6355

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Read the JsonUtils Spec for more details.

This pull request introduces the next version of JsonUtils. It is in a
separate file for ease of review and testing.

JsonUtilsNew will be renamed in a subsequent commit that rewrites our
JSON deserializers.

Implementer's Notes

I went with telescoping exceptions for the key parsing code, because
it's totally possible that you can be five keys deep and encounter a
type error. This lets us encode information about all failures in the
chain instead of just the topmost one.

The original JsonUtilsNew code changed to use decay everywhere because
the tests wouldn't compile. We want to treat GetValue<const guid> the
same as GetValue<guid>, and this lets us do so. decay is awesome.

I've been developing this with a shim that redirects JsonUtils.h to
JsonUtilsNew.h. I am not comfortable deleting the original until we've
moved off of it, and that will be the subject of a followup PR.

Validation Steps Performed

So many tests.
