What does this change?
Drops the
play-json-extensions
dependency. This dependency was used to auto-generate JSON Writer implementations for case classes with more than 22 fields.Unfortunately it appears this dependency hasn't been updated in a long time and doesn't fully support Play 3 yet causing us to have to do some trickery with dependencies to avoid loading in any Play 2 dependencies, specifically Akka.
Thankfully we only had 1 class that was using this extension which was quite easy to write a custom JSON Writer implementation for.
