Performant Multiplatform Kotlin Serialization

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Kotlinx.serialization uses a compiler plugin generates serializers approach that avoids reflection and yields very fast (no-reflection) JSON/Protobuf/CBOR encode-decode; Kotlin/JS and JVM are supported and multi-platform (native pending) is a stated goal. Practical notes: IntelliJ needs a matching plugin or IDE errors appear, version 0.8 changes APIs, there is no factory API (global serializer map by default), custom KSerializer implementations require handling descriptors and encoding/decoding manually.
