Hi folks, apologies in advances for the not “kotlin specific” question. Does anyone knows if it is possible to set the mapper to write nested json as a string? For example, a map like

mapOf("key" to mapOf("innerKey" to "value"))

serialized as

{ "key": "{\"innerKey\": \"value\"}" }

instead of

{"key": {"innerKey": "value"}}

I don’t think there’s a simple way to configure something like that, especially if your data model is just Maps. In a class-based model, you could annotate

@JsonSerialize

at a specific point and write a serializer/converter to marshal the value as a JSON string there.

Thanks 🙏. I imagined that was the case, but still worth a try asking
