Anonymous types not supported, Non-public classes not supported too

[rpgmaker]

I already understand how to generate IL code that access non public types
and members.

I just simply choose not to use dynamic methods and stick to dynamic
assembly since it allows me to avoid the cost of calling delegates which we
all know would be slower.

Plus generally I dont see the need for serializing non public except for
the case of anonymous type which makes sense. Because most people use it
for restful api.

If I do add it at some point, it will be surely slow. :)

If you generate the types to a single assembly we can mark our assemblies InternalsVisibleTo that assembly and avoid the dynamic methods. Currently the emitted code resides in multiple assemblies, each named after the serialization type it contains. Moving them all to a single assembly with a predictable name, like "NetJsonEmitted" would make the InternalsVisibleTo trick easier. This might require pre-declaring the types to be generated. (perhaps add a GenerateTypesTo(string assemblyName, type[] types) call?)

I guess such a method could work when it comes to generating a single
assembly for all types. But the issue is that there are problem with non
public classes because you cannot read or set values for them since they
are inaccessible. And your solution will only work if you convert all
private to internal.

I was thinking of generating mix code where setter and getter are dynamic
methods for non public type similar to what I did for messageshark.

Not all private to internal; just those classes we want to serialize/deserialize. In my case those are special classes reversed specifically for representing the json data contracts and they should not be visible as part of the public api for the assembly (the assembly implements json protocols, how it does that is its business). It doesn't solve the private setter problem, but it does solve my use case.

Go ahead and create another issue in regards to generating a single
assembly for a collection of types.

Added as #50

Closing issue since it is been hanging for too long. Will create a new issue once ready to implement solution for it.

Thanks,
