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

1.11.0

This release is based on Kotlin 2.3.20 and provides a new Json exceptions API and some bugfixes and improvements.

Expose Json exceptions structure

To make working with exceptions easier and providing proper error codes in e.g., REST APIs, classes JsonException, JsonDecodingException, and JsonEncodingException are now public. They have relevant public properties, such as shortMessage, path, offset, and others. This API is currently experimental, and we're going to improve it further in the subsequent releases. See the linked issues for the details: #1930, #1877.

Ability to hide user input from exception messages for security/privacy reasons.

Historically, exception messages in kotlinx.serialization often included the input Json itself for debuggability reason. Such behavior may pose additional challenges for logging, analytics, and other systems, since a system is not always allowed to store user data due to privacy/security reasons, which imposes additional sanitation logic. To address this issue, a new property exceptionsWithDebugInfo is added to JsonConfiguration. Disable it to hide user input from exception messages. IMPORTANT: This behavior will be enabled by default when this property becomes stable. See #2590 for more details.

Bugfixes and improvements

• CBOR: Relax value range check when decoding numbers (#3167)
• Use a specialized writeDecimalLong method for IO stream integrations in Json (#3152)
