This PR addresses comprehensive project cleanup and documentation improvements to make the json5-kotlin library more accessible and easier to understand for contributors and users.

Key Improvements

Documentation Enhancements

  • Enhanced README.md with proper error handling examples, improved installation instructions, and comprehensive troubleshooting section
  • Fixed API documentation throughout all guides to match the actual implementation (JSON5.parse() instead of outdated references)
  • Improved usage examples with practical error handling using JSON5Exception and SerializationException
  • Added GitHub Packages authentication guidance with notes about classic vs fine-grained tokens

Code Examples & Testing

  • Corrected all code samples to use the proper JSON5 API methods
  • Enhanced CONTRIBUTING.md with accurate test examples and debugging information
  • Improved PR template with comprehensive testing checklist
  • Added app module documentation explaining the demo application and sample JSON5 files

Project Configuration

  • Updated outdated references (Gradle version in settings.gradle.kts)
  • Enhanced .gitignore with comprehensive coverage for editors, OS files, and temporary files
  • Improved benchmark documentation with better performance guidance and interpretation of results

Build & Development

  • Enhanced development guides with correct API usage and debugging examples
  • Added troubleshooting sections for common issues like Java version mismatches and GitHub Packages authentication
  • Verified all builds, tests, and formatting work correctly after changes

Before/After Examples

Before:

val result = JSON5.parseToJsonElement(json5Text) // Incorrect API

After:

try {
    val result = JSON5.parse(json5Text)
    // Handle result...
} catch (e: JSON5Exception) {
    println("JSON5 parsing error: ${e.message}")
}

The documentation now provides accurate, practical examples with proper error handling that users can copy and use directly in their projects.

Testing

  • ✅ All builds pass (./gradlew build)
  • ✅ All checks pass (./gradlew check)
  • ✅ Code formatting verified (./gradlew formatKotlin)
  • ✅ Demo app runs successfully (./gradlew :app:run)
  • ✅ All documentation examples validated against actual implementation

Fixes #64.
