Description

This adds TextMarshaler and TextUnmarshaler options to EncOptions and DecOptions, respectively. They're essentially derivative of the existing options for BinaryMarshaler and BinaryUnmarshaler.

Enabling this improves drop-in compatibility with encoding/json, which similarly marshals non-json.Marshaler TextMarshalers to strings and unmarshalers non-json.Unmarshaler TextUnmarshalers from strings.

Oops, missed some test coverage. I'll take care of that.

Thanks @benluddy for opening this PR! I left some very minor comments.

We already discussed adding this feature, so I opened issue #675 just to have an open issue to link to that can be closed by this PR.

The default behavior (encoding.TextMarshaler not recognized) remains unchanged.

Signed-off-by: Ben Luddy <bluddy@redhat.com>
The default retains the existing behavior and ignores TextUnmarshaler implementations.
