When should I choose json_serializable over Dart Freezed?
Choose json_serializable when you want annotated DTO classes and generated serializers without the extra immutable-model layer that Freezed adds.
Generate annotation-ready Dart DTO classes from sample JSON for Flutter and Dart apps that use json_serializable without the extra Freezed layer.
