Is there a standard way to exchange json data (text) between Kotlin and a Python program ?

[Martin Nowosad]

write the json to a file

[Benjamin Vallet]

I mean to send the json data through a TCP socket

[Rob Elliot]

HTTP would seem like the most common way, using common HTTP server, HTTP client & JSON serialization libs on either side.

On the kotlin side, http4k or ktor for HTTP & jackson for JSON are common & will do the job. Python must have equivalents.

[Martin Nowosad]

you’d need to create a server (backend) then on both sides, on Python you can use Flask or FastAPI (django is too much) and on kotlin you can launch a ktor server

[Martin Nowosad]

on Python you can do the requests through the module requests and with kotlin ktor has all the tools for u ready
