Recommended alternative for json() marked deprecated in 6.28

[RoBackman]

Hi!

When using future.v7_skipActionErrorRevalidation the json() method has the nice utility of altering response status to 4xx/5xx without the need to explicitly create the response yourself (providing the ability to opt-out of revalidation in case of an error submitting some data etc.).

It also provides a convenient way to require returned data to conform to a given type.

The alternatives i see for typing is probably using "satisfies".
But with that and the revalidation opt-out i see myself recreating the json() method myself, and therefore would be interested to hear the reason why it is beeing deprecated.

It doesn’t seem to be available in React Router v6, but in React Router v7 (prerelease) there is a new data utility that can be used to return custom status codes and headers in loaders/actions — see this section in the WIP v7 docs (update: linked section since removed with an update, but data still exists). I was able to use it as a replacement for json in a project using the current v7 prerelease. I’m guessing that the data utility will become the recommended alternative.

When no custom status codes or headers are needed, raw objects can be returned from loaders/actions.
