guide-to-kotlin VS kotlinx.serialization

Read through https://github.com/Zhuinden/guide-to-kotlin/wiki and you'll know Kotlin. That, and you can also check the collection APIs which are pretty much the best thing in Kotlin compared to Java.

I would recommend learning Kotlin for Android though, it does help. I wrote this guide https://github.com/Zhuinden/guide-to-kotlin/wiki but you can also look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuiT4T_LJQo

I wrote this guide for Java => Kotlin a few years ago, other than me not adding coroutines it still holds: https://github.com/Zhuinden/guide-to-kotlin/wiki

Check this guide by me to learn Kotlin: https://github.com/Zhuinden/guide-to-kotlin/wiki

but you can read through https://github.com/Zhuinden/guide-to-kotlin/wiki and you will know what you need to know for Kotlin basics (except coroutines, then you watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P20npkvcb8 )

I wrote https://github.com/Zhuinden/guide-to-kotlin/wiki a few years ago for people who know Java and don't know Kotlin, I've heard many positive feedback for how simple it is to transition from Java to Kotlin once reading through it.

you should probably look into Kotlin (see https://github.com/Zhuinden/guide-to-kotlin/wiki and/or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuiT4T_LJQo ),

You actually can just read through https://github.com/Zhuinden/guide-to-kotlin/wiki and you'll know how to use kotlin lo

I wrote this guide a while ago specifically to cover this kind of migration https://github.com/Zhuinden/guide-to-kotlin/wiki it should be fairly no-nonsense and I've heard people like it (they said it helped them).

I didn't need to because by the time it came out I already knew Kotlin, personally I wrote this https://github.com/Zhuinden/guide-to-kotlin/wiki

Have you tried this:? https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/master/docs/serializers.md

Regardless, I followed the documentation to register List for polymorphic serialization and my static code analysis does not seem to be happy with it.

I think kotlinx.serialization might come close, but looks like custom Encoders and Decoders are still experimental.

This example will not work on a multiplatform project. you are using gson, gson runs only on jvm, you should use https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization for the json parsing

This is the issue to +1 https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/issues/1931

Fun fact, kotlinx.serialization had a release just recently which makes it come with some bundled proguard rules to make this experience easier. Yes you'll still have issues if you're using things via reflection and try to serialize things that proguard deemed unused and removed them, but it's a step forward https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/releases/tag/v1.5.0-RC

Kotlin Serialization

Kotlin Serialization is also a newer option, but doesn't have as much traction.
