This project is a new extractor for lift-json based on Scala reflection instead of Java reflection. Currently, it requires Scala 2.12 and only works against Lift 3.1.
To use it, add it to your library dependencies like so:
libraryDependencies += "net.liftmodules" %% "json-extractor-ng_3.1" % "0.1.0"Once it's set up, import the Extraction implicit conversions and use the
extractNg method to extract using this extractor instead of the default Lift
extraction.
import net.liftmodules.jsonextractorng.Extraction._
