A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

so with 0.9.0 i cannot longer just rely on implicit reflection and use `JSON.stringify(something)`
for now i solved it like this
```
data class Something(
    val someProperty: String
) {
    @Serializer(forClass=Something::class)
    companion object
}

JSON.parse(Something, string)
```

is there a better way than adding companion objects to everything ?

Is `JSON.parse(Something.serializer(), string)` working for you?

Underlying mechanisms for implicit serializers were not changed, experimental annotation was added to emphasise consequences of theirs usage

yes it works but then i have to annotate the method, then all methods using that and eventuallz i might as well enable it globally and get no benefit from the annotation

you can use non-propagating annotation `@UseExperimental`

what i'd like to see is that `@Serializable` automaticallz adds Serializer to the companion object if it does not exist

Yes, it does.` @Serializable` adds a companion object and function `.serializer()` on it to retrieve serializer

nice to know.. i already converted all my code to not use ImplicitReflection
