What people say. Recommended as a great single-shot tutorial for getting started with Ktor server-side development.

On “Where did you learn ktor from?”

Documentation is perfect imo. You can also check out Nate's yt playlist (has only 2 videos as of now but pretty good to start) or Phillip's single shot tutorial for getting started and the official Kotlin channel have few tutorials around ktor and there are also few talks around ktor on yt which may help you to get started:)

Ktor server responds with HTML with kotlin object inside pre tag instead of JSON I'm following Philipp Lackner's tutorial - [video to learn Ktor server-side development. I followed all the steps in the video as said ( installed ContentNegotiation with json(), ie: kotlinx.serialization as serializer, and annotated the data class with @Serializable). To respond to a get request in a route, I called call.respond(dataClassObject). But I get the response as HTML instead of JSON. Why is this happening? Did I miss something? I guess ktor has changed quite a bit since this tutorial was released. Thanks in advance for the help.
