How can I use kotlin.serialization in native (ktor client + curl)?
Way from https://ktor.io/docs/serialization-converter.html
install(ContentNegotiation) { serialization() }
doesn’t work - ContentNegotiation exists only for jvm.

I may be misunderstanding question but am using JsonFeature for this

HttpClient() {
            install(JsonFeature) {
                serializer = KotlinxSerializer(nonStrictJson)
            }
        }

@aleksey.tomin Hi, for me, it isn't even working on the JVM. serialization() is not being resolved.


I have these in my build.gradle.kts:

plugins {
    application
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.4.10"
    kotlin("plugin.serialization") version "1.4.10"
}

dependencies { implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json:1.0.0")
}

You also need ktor serialization dependencies
