Interface Codec<T>

Takes a JSON value and runs the decode function the codec was constructed with. All of purify's built-in codecs return a descriptive error message in case the decode fails

Takes a runtime value and turns it into a JSON value using the encode function the codec was constructed with. Most of purify's built-in codecs have no custom encode method and they just return the same value, but you could add custom serialization logic for your custom codecs.

The same as the decode method, but throws an exception on failure. Please only use as an escape hatch
