* Add some enhancements to `jsonutils.nim`
* Use `jsonutils.nim` hookable API to add a possibility to deserialize
JSON arrays directly to `HashSet` and `OrderedSet` types and
respectively to serialize those types to JSON arrays.
* Also add a possibility to deserialize JSON `null` objects to Nim
option objects and respectively to serialize Nim option object to JSON
object if some or to JSON `null` object if none.
* Move serialization/deserialization functionality for `Table` and
`OrderedTable` types from `jsonutils.nim` to `tables.nim` via the
hookable API.
* Add object `jsonutils.Joptions` and parameter from its type to
`jsonutils.fromJson` procedure to control whether to allow
deserializing JSON objects to Nim objects when the JSON has some
extra or missing keys.
* Add unit tests for the added functionalities to `tjsonutils.nim`.
* improve fromJsonFields
* Add changelog entry for the jsonutils enhancements
* Add TODO in `jsonutils.nim`
* Added an entry to "Future directions" section in `jsonutils.nim` as
suggestion for future support of serialization and de-serialization of
nested variant objects.
* Added currently disabled test case in `tjsonutils.nim` for testing
serialization and de-serialization of nested variant objects.
* Move JSON hooks to `jsonutils.nim`
Move `fromJsonHook` and `toJsonHook` procedures for different types to
`jsonutils.nim` module to avoid a dependency of collections modules to
the `json.nim` module.
The hooks are removed from the following modules:
* `tables.nim`
* `sets.nim`
* `options.nim`
* `strtabs.nim`
* Add some tests about `StringTableRef`
Add tests for `StringTableRef`'s `fromJsonHook` and `toJsonHook` to
`tjsonutils.nim`.
* Disable a warning in `jsonutils.nim`
Mark `fun` template in `jsonutils` module with `{.used.}` pragma in
order to disable `[XDeclaredButNotUsed]` hint. The template is actually
used by the `initCaseObject` macro in the same module.

This directory contains the test cases.
Each test must have a filename of the form: t*.nim
Note: Testament is only aware of tests under a directory (eg tests/foo/) and will ignore
top-level tests like tests/tbar.nim.
Specs
Each test can contain a spec in a discard """ ... """ block.
Check out the parseSpec procedure in the specs module for a full and reliable reference
action
Specifies what action this test should take.
Default: run
Options:
compile- compiles the module and fails the test if compilations fails.run- compiles and runs the module, fails the test if compilation or execution of test code fails.reject- compiles the module and fails the test if compilation succeeds.
There are certain spec keys that imply run, including output and
outputsub.
cmd
Specifies the Nim command to use for compiling the test.
There are a number of variables that are replaced in this spec option:
$target- the compilation target, e.g.c.$options- the options for the compiler.$file- the filename of the test.$filedir- the directory of the test file.
Example:
discard """
cmd: "nim $target --nimblePath:./nimbleDir/simplePkgs $options $file"
"""
Categories
Each folder under this directory represents a test category, which can be
tested by running koch tests pcat <category> (or cat to avoid parallel
testing, which is slower).
The folder dll contains simple DLL tests.
The folder realtimeGC contains a test for validating that the realtime GC
can run properly without linking against the nimrtl.dll/so. It includes a C
client and platform specific build files for manual compilation.
