How are platform specific annotations handled in common code? Say, in js I need to use kotlin serialization, whereas on the server, Micronaut uses Jackson...?

[Big Chungus]

// commonMain
expect annotation class Serializable

// jvmMain
actual typealias Serializable = JsonObject // or whatever jackson alternative is

// jsMain
actual typealias Serializable = kotlinx.serialization.Serializable

[dave08]

Yeah, but how would you handle the annotation's parameters? Like @Json("realfieldname")...?

[Big Chungus]

Same way

[Big Chungus]

typealias on one platform and delegate on the other
