Project name and package name refinement

They both should be refined, so far it's been auto generated.

ChatGPT ❓

I need to brainstorm github project name for a JSON5 library in kotlin. Right now it's named as `json5-kotlin` as seen in https://github.com/hossain-khan/json5-kotlin

However, I am looking for more appropriate or cleaver name for this project. Please suggest few with reason of suggestions.

Also suggest library package name based on suggested project name.

Here are several creative name suggestions for your Kotlin JSON5 library, along with package naming ideas:

---

💡 Name Ideas & Rationale

1. KotlinJson5

   • Why: Simple and direct, aligning with Kotlinic naming conventions.

   • Package: io.github.hossain_khan.kotlinjson5

2. Json5Kt

   • Why: Kt suffix is a common shorthand in Kotlin libraries, concise and clear.

   • Package: io.github.hossain_khan.json5kt

3. Json5k

   • Why: Inspired by the popular json5k library for Kotlin (xn32.github.io, github.com); follows an established naming pattern.

   • Package: io.github.hossain_khan.json5k

4. JsonFive

   • Why: A playful, full-word take on JSON5; memorable and distinctive.

   • Package: io.github.hossain_khan.jsonfive

5. KJson5

   • Why: Prefixing with "K" implies Kotlin-first; short and easy to type.

   • Package: io.github.hossain_khan.kjson5

6. Json5Ser

   • Why: Highlights serialization purpose; blends “JSON5” + “Ser(ialization)”.

   • Package: io.github.hossain_khan.json5ser

7. Json5Flow

   • Why: Conveys smooth parsing flow; also hints at Kotlin Flows (as future enhancement).

   • Package: io.github.hossain_khan.json5flow

8. Json5Craft

   • Why: Emphasizes craftsmanship and care; suggests enhanced control.

   • Package: io.github.hossain_khan.json5craft

---

🚀 Recommended Picks

Based on clarity, Kotlin conventions, and precedent:

• Json5Kt – clean, short, Kotlin-flavored

• Json5k – aligns with an existing community naming pattern

• KJson5 – strong Kotlin-first signal

---

📦 Package Naming Suggestions

Here are how these names translate to package identifiers:

Project Name	Example Package Name
KotlinJson5	io.github.hossain_khan.kotlinjson5
Json5Kt	io.github.hossain_khan.json5kt
Json5k	io.github.hossain_khan.json5k
JsonFive	io.github.hossain_khan.jsonfive
KJson5	io.github.hossain_khan.kjson5
Json5Ser	io.github.hossain_khan.json5ser
Json5Flow	io.github.hossain_khan.json5flow
Json5Craft	io.github.hossain_khan.json5craft

---

✅ Next Steps

1. Pick a name aligned with your target audience—developer-friendly, Kotlin community, future roadmap (e.g. Flow).

2. Update package declarations in your Kotlin code and Gradle/README.

3. Create a GitHub redirect repo, if you rename, to preserve discoverability.

4. Update documentation and examples to use the new name consistently.

Let me know which direction you like best, or if you’d like more playful or technical variations!

I like Json5Kt and JsonFive

[hossain-khan]

org.json5.json5kt vs dev.hossain.json5kt?

[hossain-khan]

Let's go with dev.hossain.json5kt - not like anyone is going to use this library! 😂

[hossain-khan]

Great choice – Json5Kt is clean, clear, and follows Kotlin naming best practices!

---

🧭 Name Check

A quick search didn’t reveal any existing Kotlin libraries using Json5Kt, so you’re in the clear to make it uniquely yours ([github.com]1).

---

📦 Suggested Package Name

Standard convention using GitHub groupId:

package io.github.hossain_khan.json5kt

You’ll then structure your code like:

• io.github.hossain_khan.json5kt.Json5Kt – main entrypoint
• Subpackages, e.g. .decoder, .encoder, .model for organization

---

📝 Next Steps

1. Rename repo (e.g. to json5kt) and set up a redirect from json5-kotlin to preserve links.

2. Update Gradle coordinates, for example:

   implementation("io.github.hossain_khan:json5kt:0.1.0")
   

3. Align README and documentation to use Json5Kt, showing initial setup and usage.

4. Draft a migration guide for users coming from other JSON5/Kotlin libraries like xn32/json5k or adamko-dev/json5-kotlin ([github.com]1).

---

⚖️ Why Json5Kt Works

• Short & Kotlinish – the “Kt” suffix is instantly recognizable to Kotlin devs.
• Clear branding – ties library name, package, and import path tightly.
• Future-proof – supports potential MPP or Flow-based enhancements under a coherent namespace.
