07/17/2021, 11:20 AMYou mean to implement the Reader by myself?...well I hoped for a more non-custom implementation...
Thx you anyways!

07/19/2021, 7:23 AMI was about to do the same but found out about """ strings. For JSON if you use the """ syntax for strings - no need to escape it and everything stays in one place - no extra files, readers, etc - just copy and paste from actual api call.

07/19/2021, 9:17 AMTo follow up with @Alexander Atanasov idea, I've remembered that I have this gist to easily convert any textual file to kotlin const val. Hook it up to some gradle task and you can generate sources for those on the fly, while maintaining the convenience of keeping resources in json format https://gist.github.com/mpetuska/a3167f5848ea9b6f657a06d0e2c1bc72
