Hi folks, anyone was able to use Ktx Serialization with compose-web? any workaround for this issue: <https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/issues/1454>

You could use js JSON.parse() and model your classes as external for now. That way you can live without kotlinx.serializatiom

I’m kind of surprised the issue with compose and kotlinx serialization still hasn’t been fixed.

<@UL1A5BA2X> `JSON.parse()` is utterly broken in Kotlin/JS.

Yes, it works, but that doesn't mean it is a nice developer experience because you have a multitude of issues with it, off the top of my head: You can't serialize Longs, you can't use any Kotlin functions (if you are trying to deserialize a List), so on and so forth. Kotlinx Serialization is a god send for the JS target so it is a bummer that it doesn't work yet.

What seems to work fine (from a tip by <@U9SQTEYRK>) is creating a separate module with the Serialization plugin, and making the Compose project depend on that module. But then again, I haven't tested it too much yet but it seems to work for deserialization.
