How does kotlinx serialization library deserialize a json array if strings? Does it turn into a List<String> or rather an Array<String> ?

I assume that ktor-client would give you List

ok

[coder82]

indeed I am just looking to the default deserialization, no custom stuff

[coder82]

I receive an array of errors like this for example

[coder82]

"errors":["user identifier is invalid", "this error", "that error"]

[coder82]

and that's even optional so I was thinking to define it like this in my data class:

[coder82]

@Optional val errors: List<String> = emptyList()
