A JSON serialize/deserialize util for bukkit's ConfigurationSerialization.

## Usage

### Basic usage

We cloud use `BukkitJSONSerializer#serializeToJSON(ConfigurationSerializable)` to serialize a object to JSON.

```jave
        Location location = new Location(Bukkit.getWorlds().get(0), -100.5, 100, 105.5);
        String serialized = BukkitJSONSerializer.serializeToJSON(location);
        // serialized -> {"world":"world","x":-100.5,"y":100,"z":105.5,"yaw":0.0,"pitch":0.0}
```

When we need to read the object, just use `BukkitJSONSerializer#deserializeSON(json,typeClass)` to deserialize the JSON
string.

```java
        Location deserialized=BukkitJSONSerializer.deserializeJSON(serialized,Location.class);
```

Or use `BukkitJSONSerializer#deserializeSON(json,typeClass,defaultValue)` if we need a default value.

### JSONSerializable class
This project provided an interface `JSONSerializable` which provided a default method to serialize itself to JSON.

```java
public interface JSONSerializable extends ConfigurationSerializable {

    default @NotNull String serializeToJSON() {
        return BukkitJSONSerializer.serializeToJSON(this);
    }

}
```
