My concern is more to do with the reader, I think extending writer works quite well, it would be nice if it was possible to do the same thing with the reader, so you could specify how to deserialize specific types of data. Right now it seems to be baked into read-json- reader and there's no easy way to extend it.
Maybe it could be possible to specify how to deserialize data based on the key names, then if the reader hits a key with the given name it would try to deserialize it with the given function or something?
