We plan to provide parselling as a serialization backend. So if some data is already serializable, you would not need a wrapper to parcel it.

[gildor]

Could you please give some insights about @Parcelize plugin and kotlinx.serialization + Parcelable backend for kotlinx.serialization.
For now looks like very similar, but different implementations.
First - only for Parcelable
Second - universal and even support Parcelable in the future.
Is there plan to merge them or one will support another one?
Or there are some big differences and different purpose of these compiler plugins

[gildor]

Because it’s looks that @Serializable object that implements Parcelable would replace @Parcelize and provide even more features (like serialisation to other formats)

[gildor]

Maybe we should create the channel #serialization

^ Done
