* my.core.serialize: simplejson support, more types
I added a couple extra checks to the default function,
serializing datetime, dates and dataclasses (incase
orjson isn't installed)
(copied from below)
if orjson couldn't be imported, try simplejson
This is included for compatibility reasons because orjson
is rust-based and compiling on rarer architectures may not work
out of the box
as an example, I've been having issues getting it to install
on my phone (termux/android)
unlike the builtin JSON modue which serializes NamedTuples as lists
(even if you provide a default function), simplejson correctly
serializes namedtuples to dictionaries
this just gives another option to people, simplejson is pure python
so no one should have issues with that. orjson is still way faster,
so still preferable if its easy and theres a precompiled build
for your architecture (which there typically is)
If you're ever running this with simplejson installed and not orjson,
its pretty easy to tell as the JSON styling is different; orjson has
no spaces between tokens, simplejson puts spaces between tokens. e.g.
simplejson: {"a": 5, "b": 10}
orjson: {"a":5,"b":10}
