# serialization

[Matthew Cachia]

@Serializable
data class Request(
    @Serializable(with = EitherSerializer::class)
    val personOrCar: Either<Person, Car>,
    @Serializable(with = EitherSerializer::class)
    val catOrDog: Either<Cat, Dog>
)

I can easily specify my custom serializer to this sealed, third-party Either class.

However,

@Serializable
data class Request(
    //@Serializable(???)
    val map: Map<String, Either<Cat, Dog>>
)

Besides some other ideas†, Is there a way I can specify a serializer for my entry value?

† one idea is to use a custom type to replace Map and define its own custom serializer. But this is definitely not ideal.

Move the annotation into the generics argument.

Map<String, @Serializable ......
