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
