• JSON5 – JSON for Humans

  Good API design dictates that you should be flexible as to what you accept and strict about what you serve. Being flexible doesn't really break anything.

  Elasticsearch and Opensearch both actually have partial support for JSON5 (comments), which is a nice feature if you want to document e.g. a complex query or mapping choice. It won't return any comments in the response. So it won't break other parsers. Implementing JSON 5 support like this is a valid thing to do for any server. More broad support for this in parsers would be nice.

  I'd probably enable this on my own servers if this was possible. I'd need that to be supported in kotlinx.serialization. See discussion on this here: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/issues/797

• How would I serialize a JSON primitive to a class?

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

• kotlinx-serialization won't serialize a List?
  1 project | /r/Kotlin | 16 Jun 2023

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

• Is rust serde unique?
  6 projects | /r/rust | 19 Apr 2023

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

• [Android/Multiplatform] Kotlin Flows + Ktor = Flawless HTTP requests (- ArrowKt)
  1 project | /r/androiddev | 15 Mar 2023

  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

• Why should I use kotlinx.serialization?

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

• Generate Kotlin client for a complex web API

• Question about app weight... I want to use Apache commons math3, should I fork it and "crop" it to reduce compile times and app weight?
  1 project | /r/androiddev | 27 Jan 2023

  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
