Hi! How to handle correctly errors when my Kotlin

gson

models declares a field as non-optional but the api doesn't send it? It doesn't crash when setting the field, but appears to force a

null

in somehow and it crashes later when accessing it.

Had to move to kotlinx serialization few months ago, gson doesn’t respect kotlin nullability and that’s it

do you happen to know how kotlinx serialization compares to the moshi library someone else mentioned?

There are bunch benchmarks that contradict each other, but you can make decisions by going through Jesse's presentation https://speakerdeck.com/swankjesse/json-explained-chicago-roboto-2019?slide=34, kotlinx still has less features, doesn't use reflection on the positive side, supports kotlin multiplatform, and ofcourse best kotlin support
