10/22/2018, 4:07 PMYou can try something like this https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/master/runtime/jvm/src/test/kotlin/kotlinx/serialization/formats/json/JsonTreeAndMapperTest.kt#L35 , or if you don’t want to be tied to JSON, just write a custom serializer and home that independent element would go first, so you can make a right decision when dependent index would be encountered
