Overview

Base class for defining declarative, typed data transfer objects (DTOs).

Includes typecasting, validation, access control, serialization, deserialization, and support for custom serializers.

Examples:

Defining a DTO

class UserDto < Castkit::DataObject
  string :name
  integer :age, required: false
end

Instantiating and serializing

user = UserDto.new(name: "Alice", age: 30)
user.to_json #=> '{"name":"Alice","age":30}'
