Given that kotlin lacks a type for big integers, is there a way to output a ByteArray that holds the big integer bytes to a JsonPrimitive (kotlinx.serialization) in common main?

FYI, there’s this. https://github.com/ionspin/kotlin-multiplatform-bignum

And this, if you want a BigDecimal etc. drop-in replacement for Kotlin/Native on iOS: https://github.com/kendy/Kotlin-Native-BigDecimal

Thanks for the tips @Jan Holešovský & @kevin.cianfarini

Used the ionspin implementation. Works awesomly.

Especially for kotlinx serialization, ionspin' s serializers were not suitable for my case (wanted to output big integers as JSON numbers). Hopefully, kotlinx.serialization provides function JsonUnquotedLiteral
