How to de/serialize types?

[wellingtoncosta]

I trying to use this library, and I would like to know how to de/serialize types e.g. LocalDate, LocalDateTime.

I'd recommend using kotlinx.serialization.
We have plans to provide some ready to use serializers in future.

[wellingtoncosta]

Yeah. I'm using kotlinx.serialization, and I found a way to de/serialize the mentioned types by using custom serializers.

hi @wellingtoncosta, can you share your custom serializer for DateTime?

[wellingtoncosta]

@qrezet I wrote this custom de/serializer in a private project of my previous company. I'll try to get this piece of code.

[qrezet]

@wellingtoncosta Thanks in advance!

@qrezet if you need serializers urgently, you may want to have a look at this PR: #101 If everything goes well, they will be available in the next release in some form.

[qrezet]

@dkhalanskyjb Awesome! Thanks for the update!

[qrezet]

Hi @dkhalanskyjb, if I'm not mistaken, this has already been part of the latest Ktor release right? 1.5.3?

[dkhalanskyjb]

Hi @qrezet, not sure what you mean, Ktor is not even integrated with the datetime library. It does have support for serialization but, as far as I know, does not provide any serializers of its own.

Also, the PR was merged, so the serializers for kotlinx-datetime are in the main branch now!
