trait Reads[A] extends AnyRef

A Reads object describes how to decode JSON into a value. Reads objects are typically provided as implicit values. When Reads implicit values are in scope, a program is able to deserialize JSON into values of the right type.

The inverse of a Reads object is a Writes object, which describes how to encode a value into JSON. If you combine a Reads and a Writes then you get a Format.

    returns

    A new Reads with the updated behavior.

  25. def preprocess(f: PartialFunction[JsValue, JsValue]): Reads[A]

    Creates a new Reads, which first transforms the input JSON using the given tranformer, and then it executes this Reads on the pre-processed JSON.
