Good afternoon everyone...
I have an issue with Kotlin serialisation in my android application

[Tower Guidev2]

I have this sealed class

@Serializable
sealed class Outcome

@Serializable
object Accepted : Outcome()

@Serializable
object Declined : Outcome()

@Serializable
object Extant : Outcome()

@Serializable
object Extinct : Outcome()

@Serializable
object Success : Outcome()

@Serializable
object Empty : Outcome()

@Serializable
object Failure : Outcome()

[Tower Guidev2]

when I attempt to encode to string with this statement I get nothing

json.encodeToString(Accepted)

where json = kotlinx.serialization.json.Json

[Tower Guidev2]

where have I gone wrong???

[Tower Guidev2]

when I store these values in my Room database I get json resembling

{"type":"<http://org.my|org.my>.package.Accepted"}

[ephemient]

json.encodeToString(Outcome.serializer(), Accepted)

[ephemient]

the class discriminator isn't produced by Accepted.serializer() , it comes from the polymorphic (sealed class) serializer

[Tower Guidev2]

thankyou very much

[ephemient]

also for future reference, you can ask questions about kotlinx.serialization in #serialization - it's not Android-specific
