-This package provides `gEncodeJson` and `gDecodeJson` functions for any data types that have a `Generic` instance. Currently only [`purescript-generics`](https://github.com/purescript/purescript-generics) is supported (not [`purescript-generics-rep`](https://github.com/purescript/purescript-generics-rep)).
+This package provides `gEncodeJson` and `gDecodeJson` functions for any data types that have a `Generic` instance, and `genericEncodeJson` and `genericDecodeJson` functions for any data types that have a `Rep.Generic` instance.
