# serialization

[christophsturm]

is there an official short name for kotlinx-serialization, one that is valid as a package name? kxser seems to be used by some libs but imo thats not very catchy. kotlinxserialization is hard to read. can anyone think of something nicer?

What do you plan to use it for? I typically just make a serialization package

[christophsturm]

i currently have a KotlinxSerializationMapper and i need to put that into a maven package, and a java package

[christophsturm]

(i also have such a mapper for jackson)

[christophsturm]

serialization would apply to the jackson mapper too

[Emil Kantis]

serialization.kotlinx? could be analogous with serialization.jackson for the other one..

Just KotlinX?

[christophsturm]

both great ideas that work for my use case, thanks!

[Emil Kantis]

What does the mapper do, anyway? 🙂

[Emil Kantis]

Started out writing a library to collect common use-case serializers.. Wondering if this is something people would use.

[christophsturm]

what does it do? currently nothing because I noticed that I need to refactor before i can add kotlinx support :)
