[dependabot]

Bumps org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json from 1.7.3 to 1.8.1.

Release notes

Sourced from org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json's releases.

1.8.1

This release updates Kotlin version to 2.1.20, while also providing several important improvements and bugfixes.

Improvements

• Implemented encoding null in key and value of a map in Protobuf (#2910)
• Make type argument in JsonTransformingSerializer nullable (#2911)
• Use SPDX identifier in POMs (#2936) (thanks to Leon Linhart)
• Add watchosDeviceArm64 to Okio integration module (#2920) (thanks to Daniel Santiago)
• Update kotlinx-io version to 0.6.0 (#2933) (thanks to Piotr Krzemiński)

Bugfixes

• Fix incorrect enum coercion during deserialization from JsonElement (#2962)
• Supply proper equals(), hashCode(), and toString() for SerialDescriptor() wrapper (#2942)
• Do not encode empty packed collections in protobuf (#2907)

1.8.0

This release contains all of the changes from 1.8.0-RC. Kotlin 2.1.0 is used as a default, while upcoming 2.1.10 is also supported. Also added small bugfixes, including speedup of ProtoWireType.from (#2879).

Changelog for 1.8.0-RC is presented below:

@JsonIgnoreUnknownKeys annotation

Previously, only global setting JsonBuilder.ignoreUnknownKeys controlled whether Json parser would throw exception if input contained a property that was not declared in a @Serializable class. There were a lot of complaints that this setting is not flexible enough. To address them, we added new @JsonIgnoreUnknownKeys annotation that can be applied on a per-class basis. With this annotation, it is possible to allow unknown properties for annotated classes, while general decoding methods (such as Json.decodeFromString and others) would still reject them for everything else. See details in the corresponding PR.

Stabilization of SerialDescriptor API and @SealedSerializationApi annotation

SerialDescriptor, SerialKind, and related API has been around for a long time and has proven itself useful. The main reason @ExperimentalSerializationApi was on SerialDescriptor's properties is that we wanted to discourage people from subclassing it. Fortunately, Kotlin 2.1 provides a special mechanism for such a case — SubclassOptInRequired. New kotlinx.serialization.SealedSerializationApi annotation designates APIs as public for use, but closed for implementation — the case for SerialDescriptor, which is a non-sealed interface for technical reasons. Now you can use most of SerialDescriptor and its builders API without the need to opt-in into experimental serialization API. See the PR for more details.

Note: All SerialKinds are stable API now, except PolymorphicKind — we may want to expand it in the future.
