Custom classes

Any classes that are not pass-through classes must be handled by registering hooks for them. DeterministicJsonSerializer has some predefined hooks registered and thus supports (de)serialization of the following built-in types out of the box:

class	output
tuple	list
set	sorted list
frozenset	sorted list
dict	sorted list of (key, value) pair lists
MappingProxyType	sorted list of (key, value) pair lists
Enum	element name as str
type	class name as str
GenericAlias	dict with fields “origin” and “args” containing the class names of origin and args classes
dataclass	dict with serialized fields from dataclasses.fields
attrs classes	dict with serialized fields from attrs.fields

For any custom classes not belonging to the built-in supported classes, class hooks or predicate hooks facilitating their (de)serialization can be registered with the serializer.
