json-types v1.0.2

Deprecation Notice

As of TypeScript 3.7, it's no longer necessary to use the workaround in this package for defining valid JSON structures.

This small snippet is all that is required now:

type Json =
  | string
  | number
  | boolean
  | null
  | { [key: string]: Json }
  | Json[];
