Could I somehow use JsonTransformingSerializer instead for this data class so its simpler?

@Serializable
internal data class ElementRenderer<T>(private val newElement: NewElement<T>) {
    val model = newElement.type.componentType.model

    @Serializable
    data class NewElement<T>(val type: Type<T>)

    @Serializable
    data class Type<T>(val componentType: ComponentType<T>)

    @Serializable
    data class ComponentType<T>(val model: T)
}

no need for JsonTransformingSerializer, this is possible with every format

WrappedSerializer.kt.cpp

Oh. I was thinking JsonTransformingSerializer since its simpler to implement and for Json. with kserializer I'd have to add some extra stuff like serialize method which I will not be using in my project and having to cast the decoder to use it as Json

Could I implement KSerializer without implementing the serialization method?

[ephemient]

you can implement only DeserializationStrategy<T> and pass that to decodeFromString

[ephemient]

most APIs are set up assuming both serialize and deserialize though
