A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hello, World!  I have a JSON API returning numbers, but apparently `kotlin.Number` is not Serializable. What's the easiest way to deal with this?

I guess I wanted to avoid Double because it's not precise... ~But actually all Longs can be represented as Doubles right?~   - no because Double and Long are both 64 bit

It's not safe to return a number in JSON that won't fit in a Double anyway

to be honest I wish the API in question would just distinguish integer and floating point fields :slightly_smiling_face:.  I ended up using Strings, with `isLenient` set to true, and decoding to the correct type on a higher layer (I guess I could have used a custom serializer but wanted to keep it simple.)
