# serialization

I noticed a lot of work on moshi and kotlin code generation using kotlinpoet. https://github.com/square/moshi

[gildor]

Cool. Looks like moshi will generate type adapters for Kotlin
Like Kotshi

[hastebrot]

currently I hacked my json “serializer”.

private fun simpleJsonAdapter(): JsonAdapter<JsonCommandList> {
    val moshi = Moshi.Builder().build()
    val listOfCommands = Types.newParameterizedType(
        List::class.java,
        Map::class.java
    )
    return moshi.adapter(listOfCommands)
}

Oh I didn’t know about kotshi. Will try it out.

[hastebrot]

but since the core of moshi is written in java (incl. okio) I’ll have to migrate to kotlinx.serializer sooner or later to build my multiplatform project

[gildor]

Sure, you cannot use moshi for multiplatform (only as JVM implementation)

[gildor]

problem with moshi is a way how moshi works: uses java reflection, no way to port it for multiplatform

[hastebrot]

yeah. kotlin.ser has a much bigger goal. multiple platforms and multiple formats (json, protobuf, …)

[hastebrot]

and the recent feature branch that uses kotlinx-io
