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

[Nikky]

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

[sandwwraith]

you can use non-propagating annotation @UseExperimental

[Nikky]

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

[sandwwraith]

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

[Nikky]

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

[Nikky]

ohh i see now
