Assessment

This issue has not been assessed yet.

Description

the sdk exposes a global serializer in BraintrstJsonMapper, but this is too heavy-handed. Different components may wish to configure different serialization options:

  • user-supplied objects in eval datasets / remote-scorers
  • integration specific mappers (e.g. ai vendor request/response bodies)
  • otel serializers
  • (TODO: investigate code base and look for other things here)

it's still fine to have a single "global" mapper, but it should be possible to configure different options for the above scenarios
