Spring Data REST force using of jackson serialization

[xanscale]

there is no way to change json serialization, like kotlinx-serialization or gson or others.

inside RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration jackson seams hardcoded and no way to change.

Exactly. Spring Data REST is built on top of Jackson, and we use Jackson in various areas. It would require a significant rework to support other serialization mechanisms.

It's a very unexpected answer :)
in my mind data REST is on top of RestController, something like autogenerated standard RestController

at least it should be specified in the documentation

I'm making rest api with data REST and kotlin, but Jackson and Kotlin are not good friends
