Good day. I am working with an API that varies how dates are encoded. So I would like to do something like this:

@DateSerializer(format="MM-dd-YYYY")
var date1: Date

Is this possible with Kotlin Serialization (multiplatform)? Any examples anybody might be able to throw my way? Thank you!

Maybe this part of docs could help you: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/master/docs/custom_serializers.md#external-serializers-for-library-classes

Yes, that is helpful. I actually did a custom serializer for a Boolean type. The part I am unsure about is how to pass a parameter to this custom serializer…

I think I found it here: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/master/docs/examples.md#user-defined-serial-annotations
