Serialization
=============
Below we define a struct called `Person`:
```d
struct Person
{
public string firstname, lastname;
public int age;
public string[] list;
public JSONValue extraJSON;
}
```
Let's create a instance and set some values before we continue:
```d
Person p1;
p1.firstname = "Tristan";
p1.lastname = "Kildaire";
p1.age = 23;
p1.list = ["1", "2", "3"];
p1.extraJSON = parseJSON(`{"item":1, "items":[1,2,3]}`);
```
Now, we make a call to `serializeRecord` as follows:
```d
JSONValue serialized = serializeRecord(p1);
```
This returns the following JSON:
```json
{
"age": 23,
"extraJSON": {
"item": 1,
"items": [
1,
2,
3
]
},
"firstname": "Tristan",
"lastname": "Kildaire",
"list": ["1", "2", "3"]
}
```
