@Razi Kheir qq - does it work with a map instead of an object ?

Using map instead of data class for contracts?
Did not see an example of that so assumed it’s not possible.
I’ll try 🙂

I guess I can’t really use the convenience of data classes for lensing responses with special characters in them 😞 idk why they are using them instead of underscores, but it will definitely not change xD

It's all to do with the ability to associate the field name with the field in the class. You can write a custom Field retriever and plug that in, but I'm wary of doing that as a generic rule. TBH, I've never seen json field names with colons in! 🙃

I know right -_- but this is a big company, this will never change haha I just have to work with it.
Yeah I understand its not a general thing and I don’t expect it in the library, I’ll figure it out 🙂 thanks David

I ended up using moshi @field:Json name by the way 😮
