Description

It would be nice if we could specify a custom encoder (and decoder) for types that will need extra deserialisation – e.g., sets, enums or sparse matrices – or even project-specific types

Research direction

Start by locating sqlite-utils' existing JSON encoding and decoding paths, then determine how a caller could supply custom handlers for project-specific types. Define what encoder and decoder configuration should cover and how completion will be verified for sets, enums, sparse matrices, and other custom types.
