Generic Serde for kotlinx.serialization?

[manosbatsis]

I'm using kotlin multiplatform to share code between an elide/spring back-end and mobile/desktop/web client apps. This forces me to use e.g. kotlinx-datetime instead of Java 8 Date/Time, KMM UUID instead of java.util.UUID and so on.

Creating a Serde (and JPA AttributeConverter) for these doesn't feel right since they support kotlinx.serialization out of the box, so I was wondering if anyone out there has a more generic approach.

Alternatively i might as well create a public repo with what i have or ideally contribute to elide.

I'm having a hard time imaging a generic solution here (but open to suggestions). If you feel like Elide might be a good home for your Serdes, we will definitely considering adding them.

Created a basic repo that seems to work for us in a project with Elide and Spring Boot but is largely untested/crude. Modules are supposed to provide JPA and Serde converters with some flexibility, i.e. plain JPA, Spring Boot, Elide Standalone and Elide with Spring Boot.

It's still very alpha but any feedback is welcome. If you're interested in taking over the Elide modules i'd be happy to prepare and transfer a repo to you.

In the mean time i'll try to add tests and polish.
