im receiving an object from "real" js code which has all the properties like a data class i defined, but is not an instance of that class. is there an easy way to convert it into an object of my class in that case?

Consider annotating your data class with `@Serializable`

I've been dealing with this by adding extension functions on `Json` to map it into each of my data classes... but that's  definitely not the optimal approach

<@UFT11FKSP> thanks for yourinput - i tried this approach and found at least on bug in kotlinx.serialization (and filed) it. so whule didn;t work out (yet), at least i could help improving the library :smile:

<@U9EFM2M0V> not the best approach, yes, but i will do something like that, until the bug in the library is fixed. thank you, too :smile:
