- Added comprehensive unit tests for encoding and normalization functionalities to ensure robustness and correctness.

Refactor encoders and normalizers, add utilities and tests, and enhance Gradle build

- Introduced `JToon.encodeJson(String)` and `JToon.encodeJson(String, EncodeOptions)` methods for direct JSON string encoding to TOON format.
- Centralized JSON parsing in `JsonNormalizer.parse(String)` to maintain separation of concerns.
- Expanded README documentation to include new encoding methods and examples.
- Added a comprehensive changelog to document notable changes and version history.
- Implemented unit tests for JSON string encoding, covering various scenarios and error cases.

Add plain JSON string encoding entry points (encodeJson) and docs/tests (v0.1.1)

- Updated the version in build.gradle to dynamically retrieve from Git tags, defaulting to '0.1.1'.
- Modified the GitHub Actions release workflow to automatically update the version in build.gradle based on the tag during the release process.

Added a link to an online playground for testing differences.

- Changed version retrieval in build.gradle to use providers.gradleProperty for better compatibility.
- Updated GitHub Actions workflow to set the version from tags and create a gradle.properties file for version management.
