JSON... deserializing lists of parameterized case classes

[David Pollak]

Howdy,

I've got something like:

final case class Foo[T](name: String)

final case class ManyFoos(who: List[Foo[_]]))

If I do JSON serialization/deserialization using lift-json, of an instance of ManyFoos, the deserialization stuff throws an exception.  Is this expected or should I file a ticket?

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

Please file a ticket, serialization does not support polymorphic Lists
yet. It requires that we add type information into JSON. Something
like:

{
"who": [
{
jsonClass = "example.Foo1"
...
},
{
jsonClass = "example.Foo2"
...
}
]
}

Cheers Joni
