Hi!
I’m trying to use kotlin.serialiazation in a gradle task in order to read a json file, modify it and save the file again. Open for other suggestions 🙂.

It was working with groovy using JsonSluper.

Is that possible?

Existing and working code in Groovy.

def file = new File(path)
def data = new JsonSlurper().parse(file)
data.types = "my new value"
def json = JsonOutput.prettyPrint(JsonOutput.toJson(data))

@Chrimaeon How? 🙂

In my build.gradle.kts I’m trying to import

import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile
import kotlinx.serialization.*
import kotlinx.serialization.json.*

But the compiler complains
Unresolved reference: serialization

[Chrimaeon]

You have to add Kotlin.serialization plug-in to the classpath of the buildscript first

DOH!!…. @Chrimaeon THANKS 🙂
