Why?
Kotlin/JVM models carry constructor defaults, nullability, unsigned and value-class semantics,
sealed hierarchies, and complete generic type information that Java
Classtokens cannot express.This PR adds an optional Kotlin JSON module while keeping the existing Java JSON APIs and Fory
binary protocols unchanged.
What does this PR do?
fory-json-kotlinwithForyJsonKotlin.builder()and reusablejsonTypeRef<T>()tokens forKotlin object models, defaults, nullability, generics, value classes, unsigned types, sealed
hierarchies, Mixin overlays, custom codecs, and supported Kotlin/JVM built-ins.
metadata can retain direct generated readers and writers, exact semantic types, nullability, and
primitive/no-box value-class carriers.
fory-json-kotlin-kspas a retention-only processor that emits exact R8/ProGuard rules for@JsonTypeand Kotlin-owned@JsonMixindeclarations; it does not generate codecs or applicationclasses.
