but what if you wanted to get the 'raw' json string and parse it yourself. Is there a 'receiveRawText' type method?

Does receiveChannel().readRemaining().readText(Charsets.UTF_8.newDecoder()) work? Maybe it is a bug (receiveText not working, or maybe it is intended)? Not sure.

If that works, you can create an extension method:

suspend fun ApplicationCall.receiveRawText(): String = receiveChannel().readRemaining().readText(Charsets.UTF_8.newDecoder())

If you don’t want JSON transformations to kick in at all, you just don’t install ContentNegotiation. Or do you want it different in different endpoints? What’s the use case?

Its working now by consuming just once. @orangy there is no particular use case here I was just wondering about dumping the whole string 🙂
