CodecAuto

Explicit, target-aware scalar conversion for irregular input.

Return `new CodecAuto (property.value_type)` from CodecProvider.get_property_codec for a single property, or use Deser.create_auto_codec for a typed root or collection element. Standard property codecs remain strict. Only scalar values are converted; overflow and loss of numeric precision raise Deser.Error.RANGE.

class Record : Deser.DataObject {
    public int count { get; set; }
    public override Deser.ValueCodec get_property_codec (GLib.ParamSpec property)
        throws Deser.Error {
        if (property.name == "count") return new Deser.CodecAuto (property.value_type);
        return base.get_property_codec (property);
    }
}
var record = new Deser.JsonWorker ("{\"count\":\"42\"}").deserialize_object<Record> ();
var array_codec = new Deser.GenericArrayCodec<int> (Deser.create_auto_codec<int> ());
