I want to serialize SomeType to a String and I’m using a custom KSerializer<SomeType>. I tried:

Json.stringify(SomeTypeSerializer, SomeType("some"))

But in the output I get ""some"". Is there a way to get "some" (without extra quotes)?

As a workaround, I’d to do this

@Serializable
data class GMTDateWrapper(
    @Serializable(with = GMTDateSerializer::class) var gmtDate: GMTDate
)

@Serializable
data class GMTDateStringWrapper(
    var gmtDate: String
)

fun getGMTDateString(gmtDate: GMTDate): String {
    val gmtDateWrapperStringified =
        Json.stringify(GMTDateWrapper.serializer(), GMTDateWrapper(gmtDate))
    val gmtDateStringWrapper =
        Json.parse(GMTDateStringWrapper.serializer(), gmtDateWrapperStringified)
    return gmtDateStringWrapper.gmtDate
}
