ChunkedDecoder

@ExperimentalSerializationApi
interface ChunkedDecoder(source)

This interface indicates that decoder supports consuming large strings by chunks via consumeChunk method. Currently, only streaming json decoder implements this interface. Please note that this interface is only applicable to streaming decoders. That means that it is not possible to use some JsonTreeDecoder features like polymorphism with this interface.
