kotlinx.serialization with polymorphism: Is there any way to affect what type discriminator is used?
I can see that we can choose which JSON field is being used for class discrimination, but can’t find a way to affect the actual discriminator used.

Ideally i don’t want my clients to have to care about entire package hierarchy. Jackson for instance lets you choose SimpleName instead of full type.
e.g instead of {"#type": "my.app.model.Employee", "name": "John"} i want something like {"#type": "Employee", "name": "John"}
Any ideas?

you can change using @SerialName

@Serializable
@JsonClassDiscriminator("#type")
sealed class Foo {
    @Serializable
    @SerialName("foo")
    data class Bar(...) : Foo()
