I currently have an object that prints out as such Country(code=AD, name=Andorra) but I need to convert it into json. Is there a stringify method or something I can use from kotlin stdlib in android? Most questions I look up on stackoverflow want me to bring in gson, but I really dont want to bring in a depedency for just this single little manipulation. Am I missing something basic here?

If you bring something bring Moshi 🙂 You can use the plain JSONObject too, or use kotlinx serialization. But there's no magic to talk json you need something that talk json and there's nothing in stb lib.

Hm. I can use JSONObject but its not part of stdlib?

[Colton Idle]

i guess that comes from android itself?

Yes

You can use kotlin serialization : https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization
