Hi, I’ve a use case wherein I want to parse two different attributes from a json into a single variable. It is guaranteed that I’ll be getting only one of such attribute at a time. For example my json will either be: {"id1" : "1", "name" : "xyz"} or {"id2" : "1", "name" : "xyz"} and my DTO is data class MyObj(val id: String, val name: String) . Is it possible to address such a use case using kotlinx serialization?

Only deserialization?

fun main() {
    Json.decodeFromString(Main.serializer(), """{"id1": 1, "name": "foo"}""")
    Json.decodeFromString(Main.serializer(), """{"id2": 1, "name": "foo"}""")
}

@Serializable
data class Main(
    @JsonNames("id1", "id2")
    val id: Int,
    val name: String
)
