Jiffy and JSX wrapper which returns a more standard Erlang map.

### Usage

Optional data types can be passed as a second parameter, to provide seemless translation.

```erlang

{deps,

 [

  {miffy, ".*", {git, "https://github.com/expelledboy/miffy.git", {tag, "2.0.0"}}},

  %% which requires either peer dependency

  {jiffy, ".*", {git, "https://github.com/davisp/jiffy.git", {tag, "0.14.11"}}},

  {jsx, ".*", {git, "https://github.com/talentdeficit/jsx.git", {tag, "v2.9.0"}}}

 ]}.

```

```erlang

Types = #{ atom => atom,

	   string => string,

	   collection => {collection, #{ key => atom }},

	   obj => #{ sub => atom } },

Erlang = #{ atom => value,

	    list => ["value"],

	    collection => [#{ key => one }, #{ key => two }],

	    string => "value",

	    bool => true,

	    integer => 1,

	    float => 1.0,

	    obj => #{ sub => value } },

Json = miffy:encode(Erlang, Types),

AtomStr = '{"string":"value","obj":{"sub":"value"},"list":[[118,97,108,117,101]],"integer":1,"float":1.0,"collection":[{"key":"two"},{"key":"one"}],"bool":true,"atom":"value"}',

Json = erlang:atom_to_binary(AtomStr, latin1), %% HACK dont do this to create strings

Erlang = miffy:decode(Json, Types).

```

### Note

Miffy does NOT attempt to translate lists deeply, see unit tests for example behaviour.

However (as seen above) a collection type exists, which is a list containing objects of the same type.
