Hi. With http4k format moshi, how do we deserialise the body, which is a list of objects? For example:
```data class User(val name: String)

val bodyLens = Body.auto<List<User>>().toLens() // What do i use instead of the auto to handle lists?
bodyLens(response)```

*(tldr; use Array<T>)*

Alright so changing List to Array fixes it all :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks

yep - it's a bit annoying and a common gotcha for raw lists, but there's not really much we can do TBH

No worries. I'm new to Moshi. I always used KotlinX Serialization but it makes us create too many models just so we can add the @Serializable. Moshi is a good improvement.

There's also Kotshi, which does auto-generation of adapters at compile time to avoid the need for reflection :slightly_smiling_face:

Sometimes I just avoid serializing lists altogether.  If I ever want to add pagination data, it's nice to already have a wrapper class to hold it all.
