# serialization

Why doesn't that work you literally can see that I have kotlinx serialization, ktor client and content negotiations:

Intellij is killing me sometimes in multi module projects

[Jan]

(the variable was just to show that I have kotlinx serialization)

[Big Chungus]

Smells like import collision. Try importing that function with import alias

[Jan]

the import for this should be

import kotlinx.serialization.json.json

right?

[Jan]

if yes intellij can't find this method.
this also doesn't work

import kotlinx.serialization.json.*

[Big Chungus]

No, it should be from ktor content negotiation module

[Jan]

okay let me search that

[Jan]

intellij can't find this

import io.ktor.serialization.kotlinx.json.json

[Big Chungus]

Do you have this module in your dependencies? https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/tree/main/ktor-shared%2Fktor-serialization%2Fktor-serialization-kotlinx

[Jan]

I have these modules. As I said I can work with Json normally with Json.decodeFromString etc. and the ktor http client also works fine.

With Ktor 2.0 you should use the new package names:

val ktor = "2.0.1"
api("io.ktor:ktor-client-core:$ktor")
api("io.ktor:ktor-client-content-negotiation:$ktor")
api("io.ktor:ktor-serialization-kotlinx-json:$ktor")

[Jan]

oh ok let me try that

[Big Chungus]

And then use this fun to initialise json cn
https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/main/ktor-shared/ktor-serialization/ktor-serialization-kotlinx/ktor-serialization-kotlinx-json/common/src/io/ktor/serialization/kotlinx/json/JsonSupport.kt#L55

[Jan]

works perfectly fine thanks

[Big Chungus]

Btw, next time you have a question about ktor, it's best to also specify if you're on 1.x or 2.x version

[Jan]

yes ok
