krotoDC VS kotlinx.serialization

I've just published a new library that library that simplifies the use of Protocol Buffers and gRPC in Kotlin projects. It generates idiomatic Kotlin data classes and gRPC services/stubs based on your protobuf definitions and ensures seamless interoperability with traditional Java protobuf classes. Check out my blog post on Medium for an introduction and guide on how to use krotoDC Feel free to give it a try and share your feedback! I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions for improvements. 📷 github: https://github.com/mscheong01/krotoDC

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.
