Unbox 2.2.0 #134

JohnSundell · 2016-10-23T23:08:29Z

This is the release branch for version 2.2.0 of Unbox. This release has 2 goals:

Performance. Unboxing collections has been made ~25% faster, thanks to decreased iteration complexity - and key path-based unboxing has been made ~50% faster due to not using associated enum values.
Simplified error API. Unbox has always provided a thorough error reporting API, but this has now been a lot simpler to use - with a single UnboxError struct that comes with readable, easy to debug error descriptions.

Unbox will now throw only a single error type, with a detailed description or what went wrong. This makes it a lot easier to consume, as you no longer have to pattern match against multiple error cases, and instead can use `UnboxError` as a single type. Unbox errors are now also a lot more readable and provides a lot more debug information. For example, an invalid array element would previously just return an “invalid value” error, while now it outputs the following: “[UnboxError] An error occurred while unboxing path “key.path”: Invalid array element (InvalidValue) at index 5”.

Don’t go through same code path as for key paths, since this requires an iteration.

Speeds up key path unboxing with ~50%.
