Serialization and deserialization

The serialization and deserialization processes of this type behave like for the String type.

Here's an example of Kotlin code that encodes and decodes this type using the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format from kotlinx.serialization:

val string: NotBlankString = "hello world".toNotBlankString()
    .getOrThrow()
val encoded: String = Json.encodeToString(string)
println(encoded) // "hello world"
val decoded: NotBlankString = Json.decodeFromString(encoded)
println(decoded == string) // true
