Use this project as the template for your implementation of a JSON Encoder.

You are only allowed to use AI tools, such as Copilot, ChatGPT, or others, for requirement 2.2.
The rest of this assignment must be completed independently, as it is the only way to fully grasp the use and purpose of Reflection.

1. fieldsToJson

Implement the extension function fieldsToJson (in FieldsToJson.kt), which converts the declared fields of a given object to JSON. This function should use the Java Reflection API to inspect fields and recursively process non-primitive types.

Your implementation should pass both testAddressFieldsToJson() and testClassroomFieldsToJson() tests.

2. membersToJson

Implement the extension function membersToJson (in MembersToJson.kt) using the Kotlin Reflection API.
This function encodes properties and non-void parameterless functions.
The membersToJson function must be recursive.

• Members can be annotated with ToJsonPropName to replace the member's name with the specified JSON property name.
• Members can also be annotated with ToJsonFormatter, which specifies a class implementing a function (Any) -> String. This function provides an alternative JSON representation of the member's value, processing it.

1. Your implementation should pass both testClassroomMembersToJson() and testPersonMembersToJson() tests. These tests utilize the domain model according to the following design:

2. Implement unit tests for a domain model of your choice that includes at least two associations, with one having a multiple multiplicity relationship. You may use any AI tool, such as Copilot, ChatGPT, or others, to assist you in implementing these unit tests and the domain model.
