# serialization

Folks, I create a new Serializer for a Primitive type( String ), when I use it in the String type, works perfectly, but with List<String> does not.
Its given me this exception: Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: kotlin.collections.EmptyList cannot be cast to java.lang.String
How can I make my Serializer works in List and Map?

My currently serializer.

@Serializer(forClass = String::class)
object ChangeColor : KSerializer<String> { ... }

Usage that is causing this exception:

@Serializable(with = ChangeColor::class)
val messages: List<String> = listOf()

[Dominaezzz]

Try doing,

val messages: List<@Serializable(with = ChangeColor::class) String> = listOf()

[SrSouza]

Not working.

But, is not getting any exception.
But the parsing not work.

[Dominaezzz]

How does it not work? The String isn't being transformed or..?

[SrSouza]

Yes, is not beeing transformed

[SrSouza]

I will run some logging to check this more precisely.

@Dominaezzz Sorry, was my bad here. Tkx for helping, I does not know that I could you directly at the type of the List.
