Functionality for importing, exporting, and validating dataclasses.

This allows complex nested dataclasses to be flattened to json-compatible data and restored from said data. It also gracefully handles and preserves unrecognized attribute data, allowing older clients to interact with newer data formats in a nondestructive manner.
