Code Review

This pull request successfully adds the toJson method to Pubspec and its related classes, enabling serialization. The implementation is correct and is well-covered by new round-trip tests, which is excellent. My review includes a few suggestions, mainly about adding documentation to new public members to adhere to the repository's style guide.

I also noticed that this pull request includes a significant refactoring of tests in the watcher package. While these changes seem to improve test stability, it's generally better to keep unrelated changes in separate pull requests. This helps keep the commit history clean and makes reviews more focused. For this review, I have focused only on the changes related to pubspec_parse.

Style comments only. I have no opinion on whether this is a good addition.

[lrhn]

Style seems fine.
Someone who actually knows what this code does should review the actual change.

Someone who actually knows what this code does should review the actual change.

We'll probably want someone from @dart-lang/dart-pub-team to confirm they are happy with the API.

@Dhruv-Maradiya any plans to land this? That would be amazing!

[Dhruv-Maradiya]

Hi @mosuem I just resolved all comments and pushed the code, should I implement gemini's suggestions?

[mosuem]

They do sound reasonable! As soon as those are addressed and the CI is green we can merge it. Thanks!
