Hi Dmitry,
I would really prefer a lighter version without jsonp references then:
https://gist.github.com/rmannibucau/66907a09c1f062b378e67c7f511425c0 .
Note: I tried to comment a bit big changes with "RMB" notes.
Main issue I have there is in SerializationContext and list handling where
"key" will be the list key and not the instance one. We can of course add
another method for arrays or pass a "context" to give the information
(SerializationTreeContext = {array = [true|false], key = [string]} and we
remove the key from the signature).
