JsonTypeConverter<D, S> mixin

A mixin for TypeConverters that should also apply to drift's builtin JSON serialization of data classes.

By default, a TypeConverter only applies to the serialization from Dart to SQL (and vice-versa). When a BuildGeneralColumn.map column (or a MAPPED BY constraint in .drift files) refers to a type converter that inherits from JsonTypeConverter, it will also be used for the conversion from and to JSON.

If the serialized JSON has a different type than the type in SQL (S), use a JsonTypeConverter2. For instance, this could be useful if your type converter between Dart and SQL maps to a string in SQL, but to a Map in JSON.
