How come `ToJSON` and `ParseFromJSON` exist?

[banool]

Hey, as I look through more of the codebase, I so far see that every implementation of ToJSON / ParseFromJSON just calls out to serde directly. I wonder why these traits exist, couldn't we just use Serialize and Deserialize?

[Christoph-AK]

In a similar sense, is serde the best candidate for json serialisation here? Are there maybe better performing/smaller/lighter crates to use for JSON?

Not using serde to parse and serialize json.

As a note to this, we use it when mirroring and transforming internal API responses.

The separation lets us use the same model but with different serialization/deserialization behaviours between them. (Mostly with renaming)
