Java record support

[sergey-morenets]

Hi

It seems that Java records are not supported. If I try to deserialize JSON string into Java record I get this error with JDK 17:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class demo.ExampleRecordAccAccess tried to access protected method 'void java.lang.Record.<init>()' (demo.ExampleRecordAccAccess is in unnamed module of loader 'app'; java.lang.Record is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')

fork and make a pull request if you want.

Or you can use register some custom mapper.

@UrielCh, can you share some hints or paths for a developer to implement this record support?

I would say that to support a new type, you need to register some handler:

see: the calls to registerWriter within JsonWriter.java in the init function.

and I imaging that a JSONValue.registerReader is also needed,
there is a sample code in TestUUID.java that register a reader for a class named: UUIDHolder

the hardest part may be to to keep all legacy compatibility.
