Is there a way I can parse a Json list with two different models? For example a list that contains a list of posts and a list of comments?

Something like this:

"""
           [
                {
                    // Posts
                },
                {
                    // Comments
                }
           ]
        """

you would define it as a polymorphic type -> https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/master/docs/polymorphism.md

Does this work without having the models to be inherited?

[Dariusz Kuc]

you mean without common interface/sealed class? no i don't think it would work

[Ali Albaali]

Yeah, in my case the models are totally different

[Dariusz Kuc]

well you can have empty interface/sealed class with implementations having completely different fielsd

honestly that model looks wrong

I agree 💯. It's one of the worst APIs I've ever dealt with. It's not mine and I can't change it unfortunately.
