# serialization

Is there any easy way to (de)serialize purely through an interface? That is, without adding any support for serialization to the implementing class, and when deserializing have the compiler generate an object that implements the interface.

@Serializable
interface Foo {
	val bar1: String
	val bar2: Int
}

Should serialize too {"bar1":"…","bar2":…} independent of the implementing class.
{"bar1":"abc","bar2":42} should deserialize to object : Foo { override val bar1 = "abc"; override val bar2 = 42 }.

you could probably make a compiler plugin that processes interfaces with @SerializableInterface annotation and generates a @Serlaizable data class for them as well as extensions for serializer() and such

Seems reasonable if there is no standard way 👍
