Release Notes

Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization (org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json)

v1.7.0

==================

This is a release candidate for the next version. It is based on Kotlin 2.0.0-RC3 and is fully compatible with a stable Kotlin 2.0 release.
Due to a potential breaking change (see below), it requires a compiler plugin with a version at least of 2.0.0-RC1.

Important change: priority of PolymorphicSerializer for interfaces during call to serializer() function

Non-sealed interfaces in kotlinx.serialization are always serializable with a polymorphic serializer,
even if they do not have @Serializable annotation. This also means that serializersModule.serializer<SomeInterface>() call will return you a serializer capable of polymorphism.
This function was written in a way that it unconditionally returns a PolymorphicSerializer if type argument is a non-sealed interface.
This caused problems with SerializersModule functionality, because actual module was not taken into consideration, and therefore it was impossible
to override serializer for interface using 'contextual serialization' feature. The problem is described in details here.
To overcome these problems, we had to change the behavior of this function regarding interfaces. It now looks into SerializersModule first if T is a non-sealed interface,
and only if there is no registered contextual serializer for T, it returns a polymorphic serializer.

Behavior before 1.7.0-RC:

interface SomeInterface

val module = SerializersModule {
    contextual(SomeInterface::class, CustomSomeInterfaceSerializer)
}

// Prints PolymorphicSerializer<SomeInterface>:
println(module.serializer<SomeInterface>())

Behavior in 1.7.0-RC, 1.7.0, and higher:

interface SomeInterface

val module = SerializersModule {
    contextual(SomeInterface::class, CustomSomeInterfaceSerializer)
}

// Prints CustomSomeInterfaceSerializer:
println(module.serializer<SomeInterface>())

We expect minimal impact from this change but be aware of it anyway.
Implementation details are available in this PR.

Due to the serializer() function being also a compiler intrinsic, code
of kotlinx.serialization compiler plugin also accommodates for this change in 2.0 branch. To get a consistent result from both plugin and runtime,
kotlinx.serialization compiler plugin should be at least of 2.0.0-RC1 version.
To verify so, 1.7.0-RC runtime will be rejected by older plugins.

Json configuration flag to allow commentaries

While JSON standard does not allow any kind of commentaries, they are one of the most popular extensions — for example,
commentaries are widely used in configuration files.
To support this use-case, we added a new configuration flag, allowComments.
This flag allows the parser to skip over C/Java-style commentaries in JSON input.
Note that commentaries cannot affect decoding or encoding in any way and are not stored anywhere.
See details in the PR.

Promote JsonConfiguration.explicitNulls to a stable API

This configuration flag has been around for a long time and got positive feedback.
Therefore, we are promoting it to a stable state.
It also received functionality enhancements when used with JsonConfiguration.coerceInputValues (#​2586).
See related PR for details.

oneof support in ProtoBuf

oneof fields in protobuf messages represent a set of optional fields, where the only one of them is present.
With the help of the new @ProtoOneOf annotation, you can naturally map them to Kotlin's sealed class hierarchy.
Check out the comprehensive guide for this feature here.

This functionality was contributed to us by xzk.
