Generate Kotlin Data Classes from Config Object
Application configs have deep nesting: app settings, database credentials, feature flags. This example generates Kotlin data classes from a multi-level config structure so you can deserialize configuration files directly in your Kotlin application.
What You Get
The tool produces:
- Root
Rootdata class with three top-level sections:App,Database,Features RootAppdata class withName,Version,DebugpropertiesRootDatabasedata class withHost,Port, andCredentialsnested classRootDatabaseCredentialsdata class for database authRootFeaturesdata class withDarkMode,MaxConnections, andAllowedOriginslist- Proper Kotlin type mappings:
String,Long,Double,Boolean,List<String>
How to Use
- The example loads with a sample application config in Kotlin mode
- The nested structure shows how each config section gets its own data class
- Copy the classes and paste them into your Kotlin project
- Replace with your actual config JSON to generate classes for your project
Real-World Pattern
Kotlin config loading with kotlinx.serialization works seamlessly with Json.decodeFromString. Generate data classes from your default config, then decode them from JSON files in your resources or from environment variables.
