JsonElement

@Serializable(with = JsonElementSerializer::class)
sealed class JsonElement(source)

Class representing single JSON element. Can be JsonPrimitive, JsonArray or JsonObject.

JsonElement.toString properly prints JSON tree as valid JSON, taking into account quoted values and primitives. Whole hierarchy is serializable, but only when used with Json as JsonElement is purely JSON-specific structure which has a meaningful schemaless semantics only for JSON.

The whole hierarchy is serializable only by Json format.
