Updated test and benchmark project dependencies to latest versions (BenchmarkDotNet, coverlet.collector, MSTest, etc.). Reformatted source generator project references for consistency. Commented out most AcBinary benchmark variants in Program.cs, leaving only FastMode+Default enabled. Significantly expanded README with detailed architecture, file descriptions, and configuration for each serializer subfolder. Added LLM maintenance notes to ensure documentation stays in sync with code changes.
- Integrated MemoryPack as a serializer in the benchmark suite
- Added [MemoryPackable] and [MemoryPackIgnore] to test models
- Enabled AcBinary source generation by default
- Updated benchmark app to include MemoryPack and focus on key serializers
- Added MemoryPack NuGet references to projects
- Refactored AcBinarySerializer.WriteString flag handling
Introduce Roslyn Source Generator for AcBinary serialization, generating optimized Serialize/Deserialize methods for types marked with [AcBinarySerializable]. Integrate generator as analyzer in core, tests, and benchmarks. Update metadata to detect generated serializers. Add benchmarks and integration tests to validate performance and correctness. Update project files and internals visibility for testing. Existing runtime serialization remains as fallback.
- Introduce AcBinarySerializerTests with full coverage for primitives, objects, collections, merge/populate, and size comparisons
- Add AcBinarySerializer class stub as a placeholder for implementation
- Extend serialization extension methods with binary helpers (ToBinary, BinaryTo, BinaryCloneTo, etc.)
- Update test models to ignore parent references for all major serializers ([IgnoreMember], [BsonIgnore])
- Refactor benchmarks: split into minimal, simple, complex, and MessagePack comparison; add command-line switches and improved size reporting
- Optimize AcJsonDeserializer with fast UTF-8 property lookup and direct primitive setting
- Add MessagePack and MongoDB.Bson dependencies to test and benchmark projects
- Add (accidentally) a summary of less commands as a documentation artifact
- Updated all projects to use `Newtonsoft.Json` v13.0.3 for consistency.
- Introduced `HybridReferenceResolver` for semantic and numeric ID handling.
- Refactored `SerializeObjectExtensions` to support deep JSON merging.
- Simplified `IId<T>` interface by removing `IEquatable<T>` constraint.
- Improved `AcSignalRDataSource` with robust `AddRange` and `CopyTo` methods.
- Added `JsonExtensionTests` for deep hierarchy, reference, and edge cases.
- Implemented `UnifiedMergeContractResolver` for custom JSON behavior.
- Optimized type/property caching with `TypeCache` and `CachedPropertyInfo`.
- Enhanced SignalR integration to fix primitive array deserialization issues.
- Introduced `JsonNoMergeCollection` attribute for replace-only collections.
- Added test DTOs and `TestDataFactory` for real-world scenario simulations.
- Improved performance with `ConcurrentDictionary` and `ObjectPool`.
- Fixed `$id`/`$ref` handling for non-semantic references and arrays.
