How does Kotlin handle serialization and deserialization?
Updated May 16, 2026
Short answer
Kotlin uses libraries like kotlinx.serialization or Gson for object serialization.
Deep explanation
Serialization converts objects into formats like JSON, while deserialization reconstructs them. kotlinx.serialization is compiler-driven and type-safe compared to reflection-based libraries.
