06/14/2024, 2:55 PMIs there any library for modeling Kotlin code, with a builder dsl, transformer, serialization and kotlinpoet support? Currently I have my own library but only for basic Kotlin support I needed in the past, but now have more use cases and I am open to switch to a third party library with better support. How do you model Kotlin code?
