Is there a way to stop mangling names for a class/interface?

Yes! It can be done using <https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.js/-js-name/|JsName> or experimental <https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.js/-js-export/|JsExport>

Is it possible to disable mangling without exporting?

What about whole class/interface (without name duplication)?

What are your use-cases for “JsExport but without export”?

Is it for calling external API that expects certain names?

0. “missed” members in declarations
Last example - `HTMLElement`  has more <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-44422|abstract members>

1. Like entities
For example if you have `x, y, width, height`
you become rect like and can be <https://docs.yworks.com/yfileshtml/#/api/Rect#Rect-method-from|converted to Rect class>

2. Templates
&gt; Is it for calling external API that expects certain names?
Yes, for example it can be used in templates <https://docs.yworks.com/yfileshtml/#/dguide/custom-styles_template-styles#_bindings_in_string_template_styles|like this>

Thanks! I’m thinking that we would also need let IR DCE know that these would be used externally so it would keep them alive.

One more example - <https://docs.yworks.com/yfileshtml/#/dguide/custom-styles_template-styles#custom-styles_template-styles-converters|template converters>
