+-- Build information for the package.
+name:                json-alt
+version:             1.0.0
+synopsis:            Union 'alternative' or Either that has untagged JSON encoding.
+description:         Parsing JSON with Aeson often requires decoding fields
+                     that have more than one Haskell type.
+                     .
+                     So we have:
+                     ```
+                     data a :|: b = AltLeft a
+                                  | AltLeft b
+
+                     printIt = print . (fromJSON :: ByteString -> Int :|: Bool)
+                     main = do
+                       printIt "1"    -- AltLeft 1
+                       printIt "true" -- AltRight True
+                       printIt "null" -- errors!
+                     ```
+                     To generate types for larger JSON documents,
+                     you might use `json-autotype`.
+                     .
+                     This is separate package so that users
+                     do not have to keep `json-autotype` as runtime
+                     dependency.
+                     .
