<https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2021/05/kotlinx-datetime-0-2-0-is-out/|this jb blog post> says
&gt; The default serializer is based on an <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601|ISO 8601> string representation of a type and uses `toString()`/`parse()` to serialize and deserialize values
the linked wikipedia article lists `2021-05-29T17:42:42+00:00` as an example string

so why do i get an exception here ?

`2021-05-29T17:42:42+00:00` is not valid JSON

did you mean this?
```decodeFromString&lt;Instant&gt;("\"2021-05-29T17:42:42+00:00\"")```

(or `""""2021-05-29T17:42:42+00:00""""`, same thing)
