Thoughts on criticism of Java reflection using JSON parsers as an example. https://medium.com/@martin.devillers/reflections-on-reflection-performance-impact-for-a-json-parser-on-android-d36318c0697c

i would love to see how it compares to kotlinx- #serialization although i do not work on any android apps

Indeed, but like I said in the article, my goal wasn’t really to create a full benchmark of JSON libraries. Otherwise I’d also have to look at Moshi, and probably a whole lot of others. And I think I’d have to be more rigorous in the benchmark protocol in order for it to have any real-world value.

i meant more comparing how Serializers generated at runtime compare against reflection in general, which tradeoffs there are if any

Don’t you mean serializers generated at compile-time? I haven’t really looked at kotlinx-serialization
