Is there a way to use jackson for the client JsonFeature? The GsonSerializer does not seem to respect @JsonIgnore annotations

There is no default JacksonFeature for now, but the issue https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/issues/346 should be already fixed in

0.9.3

is there going to be a JacksonFeature in the nearer future?

You could contribute one 🙂 It shouldn’t too hard, given

Gson

is already there.
