Hi everybody

I have a problem
in external module i have "`data class XXX ....`"
and with routing as i try

route("/v1/lib") {
post {
val x:XXX = call.receive()
...

and i get an exception

Caused by: kotlinx.serialization.SerializationException: Serializer for class 'XXX' is not found.
Mark the class as @Serializable or provide the serializer explicitly

do you have an idea how to deal with something like this and i can't add @Serializable before the class

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

You can write a custom serializer for that class as stated in the message.

[Jacol]

you have such an example and can't it be made more pleasant

[Jacol]

I don't know if writing your own is "nice to use"

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

I can only recommend reading the documentation about custom serializers. This issue isn't related much to Ktor so I suggest asking it in the #serialization channel.

I understand that there is a way of working that the class must have methods added and then the plugin but I am rewriting the api and I have around 50-80 class and write 80 serializers ..... I will use gson for now because I will be more resistant to change

[Jacol]

in this solution, when changing the next version, I will have to write about 10 new serializers
