so.. we are using a shared project for the data classes, use those from graphql sping server
and i wrote a few lines for doing the requests using kotlinx-serialization and ktor-client

i would like to also use kotlinx-serialization on the server, is there such a project .. or where can i help to make that happen ?

Hello 👋
Currently graphql-kotlin-spring-server relies on Jackson which is the default serialization library for Spring Webflux.

I believe starting with Spring Boot 2.4 it will be possible to use kotlinx.serialization as a replacement for Jackson.

I haven’t looked at that code in a while but I believe we only use Jackson explicitly in the default resolver/data fetcher (and for handling subscriptions).

I think after we upgrade to Spring Boot 2.4 you should be able to provide custom resolvers using kotlinx.serialization

*probably should double check if there is any other code depending directly on jackson

Spring Boot 2.4 RC is out so 🤞 GA will follow soon. In the meantime feel free to open up an issue/PR against https://github.com/ExpediaGroup/graphql-kotlin
