How do I serialize/deserialize to/from a simple String using kotlinx.serialization?

[ribesg]

Oh, I need to use a serialization format, obviously. I was trying to autocomplete from a serializer directly.

Here's a bit of a shortcut...

import kotlinx.serialization.json.Json
import kotlinx.serialization.json.JsonConfiguration

val j = Json(JsonConfiguration.Default)
j.parseJson("\"blah\"")

will return a JsonLiteral representing the string "blah". Leave off the escaped quotes for booleans and numbers.
