Hi,
when using directly JsonObject is there any way to detect if a given property is string? and get result? eg val json:JsonObject; json["propertyStr"]?.primitive.stringOrNull ?
I can see that there is booleanOrNull doubleOrNull but no stringOrNull, tried toString() but it produces quoted string

[ribesg]

(json[key] as? JsonLiteral).isString

Then once you know it’s a String use content, not toString()

[ribesg]

val JsonPrimitive.stringOrNull: String?
    get() = (this as? JsonLiteral)?.run { if (isString) content else null }

thanks

question why it's excluded from a library

You usually don’t deal with json like that. You use serializers with models.
