Bump org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json from 1.4.0 to 1.6.0

[dependabot]

Bumps org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json from 1.4.0 to 1.6.0.

Release notes

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

1.6.0

This release contains all features and bugfixes from 1.6.0-RC plus some bugfixes on its own (see below). Kotlin 1.9.0 is used as a default, while 1.9.10 is also supported.

Bugfixes

• Improve error messages from Json parser (#2406)
• Mark @SerialName, @Required and @Transient with @MustBeDocumented (#2407)
• Ensure that no additional files except java compiler output get into multi-release jar (#2405)
• Fix enums with negative numbers in protobuf not serializing & de-serializing (#2400) (thanks to Doğaç Eldenk)

1.6.0-RC

This release is based on the Kotlin 1.9.0.

Removal of Legacy JS target

Some time ago, in Kotlin 1.8, JS IR compiler was promoted to stable and old JS compiler was deprecated. Kotlin 1.9 promotes the usage of deprecated JS compiler to an error. As a result, kotlinx.serialization no longer builds with the legacy compiler and does not distribute artifacts for it. You can read the migration guide for JS IR compiler here.

Also pay attention to the fact that Kotlin/Native also has some deprecated targets that are going to be removed in the Kotlin 1.9.20. Therefore, kotlinx.serialization 1.6.0-RC and 1.6.0 are likely the last releases that support these targets.

Case insensitivity for enums in Json

This release features a new configuration flag for Json: decodeEnumsCaseInsensitive that allows you to decode enum values in a case-insensitive manner. For example, when decoding enum class Foo { VALUE_A , VALUE_B} both inputs "value_a" and "value_A" will yield Foo.VALUE_A. You can read more about this feature in the documentation and corresponding PR.

Other bugfixes and enhancements

• Add support to decode numeric literals containing an exponent (#2227) (thanks to Roberto Blázquez)
• Fix NoSuchMethodError related to Java 8 API compatibility (#2328, #2350) (thanks to Björn Kautler)
• Changed actual FormatLanguage annotation for JS and Native to avoid problems with duplicating org.intellij.lang.annotations.Language (#2390, #2379)
• Fix error triggered by 'consume leading class discriminator' polymorphic parsing optimization (#2362)
• Fix runtime error with Serializer for Nothing on the JS target (#2330) (thanks to Shreck Ye)
• Fix beginStructure in JsonTreeDecoder when inner structure descriptor is same as outer (#2346) (thanks to Ugljesa Jovanovic)
• Actualize 'serializer not found' platform-specific message (#2339)
• Fixed regression with serialization using a list parametrized with contextual types (#2331)

1.5.1

This release contains an important Native targets overhaul, as well as numerous enhancements and bugfixes. Kotlin 1.8.21 is used by default.

New set of Native targets

The official Kotlin target support policy has recently been published describing new target policy: each target belongs to a certain tier, and different tiers have different stability guarantees. The official recommendation for library authors is to support targets up to Tier 3, and kotlinx.serialization now follows it. It means that in this release, there are a lot of new targets added from this tier, such as androidNativeX86 or watchosDeviceArm64. Note that since they belong to Tier 3, they're not auto-tested on CI.

kotlinx.serialization also ships some deprecated Kotlin/Native targets that do not belong to any tier (e.g. iosArm32, mingwX86). We'll continue to release them, but we do not provide support for them, nor do we plan to add new targets from the deprecated list.

Improvements in Json elements

There are two new function sets that should make creating raw Json elements easier.
