Hi folks. Quick question: Is there any support for using `kotlinx.serialization` with the `contract` module?

The data classes in `contract` are not market with any annotations that the `kotlinx` lib needs. Would I have to create custom serialisers?

nope - there is no current support for it in the contracts module - only Jackson. TBH, although we support Kotlinx.serialization as a module I can't actually see any advantage of it over and above Jackson - the serialization just seems like such a hassle to setup.... so would be interested to know why you've selected it. Generally my next go-to combination would be Moshi + Kotshi generated adapters (but not with the contract module OFC :slightly_smiling_face: )

I can’t say why OP wants it, but to me the main benefit of kotlinx.serialization is that it works in  Kotlin/JS. It would be great to generate client libraries for my APIs

I switched it out to use Jackson in the end. I used `kotlinx.serialization` mostly out of habit because I've built things using Kotlin/JS previously where it's all `kotlinx.serialization`. But Kotlin/JS is not a consideration currently
