is there value in distributing the parser together with the serializer, separately from the Encoder / Decoder layer? (this would really be a small library, as the parser and serializer only take up ~600 loc)

All of these components seems small. Besides when statically linked a bigger library size is not an issue at all (unused parts are stripped off).

okay i think i understand what you mean. the problem is decoders don’t have access to a lot of information about the type being decoded. they provide API that compiler-synthesized code calls into to do the actual instance construction. i don’t know if that can be implemented at the library level.

I think this is doable, a sketch approach outlined here.
