Is there a simple way to ignore a field when using moshi to serialize to a json string? I can only think about is a custom adapter - but I have the feeling that there is a better way

Use transient on the field declaration.
private transient String your_variable_name;
Originally I found Exclude fields from serialization and deserialization
Hope It's help you.

Sorry, my question is actually: How to do it in Kotlin on a lazy property? Moshi chokes on lazy properties, and Transient cannot be applied to a property. So I'm stuck @RobCo – Greg Ennis Mar 02 '18 at 12:53

transient is a terrible use, because it's also picked up and interpreted by other systems. You need a way to tell Moshi to ignore a field without making it transient. – Brill Pappin Feb 12 '21 at 15:38
