trait DefaultValues extends AnyRef

Flag to indicate the macros can use the type default values (e.g. default values for the case class parameters) when applicable.
```
import play.api.libs.json._, Json._

type Opts = MacroOptions with DefaultValues
```

sealed trait JsValueWrapper extends AnyRef

Next is the trait that allows Simplified Json syntax :

Example:

import play.api.libs.json._

JsObject(Seq(
   "key1" -> JsString("value"),
   "key2" -> JsNumber(123),
   "key3" -> JsObject(Seq("key31" -> JsString("value31")))
)) == Json.obj(
  "key1" -> "value", "key2" -> 123, "key3" -> Json.obj("key31" -> "value31"))

JsArray(Seq(JsString("value"), JsNumber(123), JsBoolean(true))) == Json.arr("value", 123, true)

There is an implicit conversion from any Type with a Json Writes to JsValueWrapper which is an empty trait that shouldn't end into unexpected implicit conversions.

sealed trait MacroOptions extends AnyRef
