I'd need to serialize an object with multiple custom/dynamic fields

"addOnCommandParameters": {
            "myAddOnCommandParameter1": "X=?"
        }

what's the best strategy in this case? A custom serializer? If yes, how is gonna be the descriptor?

[Emil Kantis]

If it's always String -> String you could just use a Map<String, String> to represent it

[elect]

yeah, I presume, but I wouldn't be sure
the return example is actually an int, to say

[elect]

maybe <String, any>?

[Emil Kantis]

with coerceInputTypes I think a Int could be automatically wrapped into String

[Emil Kantis]

Using Any is tricky/impossible.. you would need some marker to figure out what type the field is..

[elect]

uhm, ok, then <String, String>, shall I use mapSerialDescriptor then?

[Emil Kantis]

Do you need a custom descriptor?

@Serializable
data class Command(
  val addOnCommandParameters: Map<String,String>
)

Should be enough

[elect]

yeah, shame I couldn't get that myself
thanks!
