[2.0.0] - 2026-01-27

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• JsonValue is no longer Unity-serializable (removed [Serializable] and [SerializeField])
• Direct serialization of JsonValue fields will show a warning in the Inspector

Added

• String-backed storage: JsonScriptableObjectData now stores JSON as a string internally
• ISerializationCallbackReceiver implementation for automatic serialization sync
• MarkDirty() method to mark cache as modified after direct Root changes
• FlushToString() method to force immediate serialization to string
• RawJson property to access the raw JSON string for debugging
• Warning message in PropertyDrawer when attempting to serialize JsonValue directly

Changed

• JsonScriptableObjectData.Root is now lazy-loaded from the stored JSON string
• Cache is automatically rebuilt when accessing Root after deserialization
• JSON is stored with pretty-print format in the .asset file for better readability

Fixed

• Unity serialization depth limit: No longer causes "Serialization depth limit 10 exceeded" warnings
• Deeply nested JSON structures are now fully supported without depth restrictions

Improved

• Git diffs are now human-readable (JSON text instead of Unity's verbose serialization)
• Smaller .asset file sizes for complex JSON structures
• Better performance with lazy-loading (JSON parsed only when accessed)

[1.0.0] - 2026-01-02
