Usage

Here's a simple example of how to use Serialize.Linq:

// Create an expression
Expression<Func<int, bool>> expression = num => num < 5;

// Create a serializer
var serializer = new ExpressionSerializer(new JsonSerializer());

// Serialize the expression
string serializedExpression = serializer.SerializeText(expression);

// Deserialize the expression
var deserializedExpression = serializer.DeserializeText(serializedExpression);
