I can’t seem to use client/JsonFeature. I declared the dependency ("io.ktor:ktor-client-json:$ktor_version") in my build.gradle, and I see it (can even navigate into it) in IntelliJ.
But I can’t call install(JsonFeature)` . (“Unresolved Reference”)

I tried the fully qualified name, gradle clean, and even deleting the whole ~/.gradle folder. Nothing.

Hitting “build” tells me, that client-json requires “’org.jetbrains.kotlinxkotlinx serialization common0.10.0”, but adding that to dependencies also doesn’t help.
And also, it shouldn’t be that hard.

Any ideas?

ok, solved it 🤦‍♂️
one has to add either ktor-client-jackson, ktor-client-gson or ktor-client-gson or ktor-client-serialization in order to make it compile. I thought of them like an addition

[lovis]

still can’t run it - it still says it needs org.jetbrains.kotlinxkotlinx serialization runtime common0.10.0

You could try to add

maven { url "<https://kotlin.bintray.com/kotlinx>" }

in the top-level repo section 🙂

Works! Thanks a lot! 🙌

Did I miss that in the docs, or is it missing? 🤔

We'll sync future versions with jcenter(), last mention could be found here https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization 🙂
