1.6.3
This release provides a couple of new features and uses Kotlin 1.9.22 as default.
Class discriminator output mode
Class discriminator provides information for serializing and deserializing polymorphic class hierarchies.
In case you want to encode more or less information for various third party APIs about types in the output, it is possible to control
addition of the class discriminator with the JsonBuilder.classDiscriminatorMode property.
For example, ClassDiscriminatorMode.NONE does not add class discriminator at all, in case the receiving party is not interested in Kotlin types.
You can learn more about this feature in the documentation and corresponding PR.
