orbit-mvi VS kotlinx.serialization

Go over to the docs for orbit-mvi and show how it has these flaws.

This looks great! Semi-related question... have you evaluated other MVI frameworks like Mavericks / Uniflow / Orbit? What made you decide on Mobius?

Do you recommend Mavericks? I've been meaning to evaluate it and orbit-mvi.

Everything in MVI is just more code that does nothing (see how most MVI frameworks are basically just a wrapper over state.value = state.copy() like in Orbit or MvRx which you wouldn't even need if you used combiners) and instead adds unnecessary constraints over MVVM that don't help you at all. The "sealed class inputs" are basically a reinvention of calling interface functions except you create classes for it, despite there being no asynchronicity when you have a View -> ViewModel communication.

Redux is called MVI in Android world. There are plenty of MVI libs: MVICore, orbit-mvi, mobius and other.

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.
