[**Low overhead**](#internals) value space `Decoder`
on top of Aeson's Parser for combinator style decoding.

This library is compatible with GHC as well as recent versions of **GHCJS**.

__Encoding to JSON is currently not supported but might be added in the future version.__

I wrote a [blob post](https://turbomack.github.io/posts/2020-02-21-value-space-decoding-for-aeson.html)
describing what this library attempts to solve.

## Internals

`Decoder a` type is a function `Value -> Parser a` the same as `fromJSON`
member function of `FromJSON` class. This means there should be near zero overhead.
Aeson types and functions are reused where possible. Similarly `Encoder a` type
follow `toJSON` from `ToJSON` type class.
