I'm trying to serialize a

List

to JSON as value for a key (

"items": [ {...}, {...} ]

) but I'm getting an array with no key instead (

[{...}, {...}]

). I'm using

ktor-serialization-kotlinx-json

, how can I change this behavior?

@Serializable
data class Pages(val items: List<...>)

call.respond(listOf(...))

I'm not understanding why you're calling

respond(list)

and not

respond(Pages(list))

if you want it to be in the serialized output

oh, that was the mistake. It was serializing the list as an array because that was what I was passing
