Hi Viktor, I disagree. I don't think serializing LocalDates as arrays is a good idea (and it wasn't before either). The new Jackson serialization uses the ISO_DATE_FORMAT to serialize dates which is easily parseable by clients.
So for all new APIs I'm recommending the ISO_DATE_FORMAT serialization and for old APIs which we wanna keep backward compatible, just use the Array serialization - although we need to move away from this for sure. To keep the backward compatibility and still use the Jackson serialization, I just created last week an opt-in way to fall back to the old serialization approach, you can check it here: https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/4556/files Best, Arnold On Tue, Apr 15, 2025 at 7:13 AM Viktor Pavlenko <viktor.pavle...@onix-systems.com.invalid> wrote: > By default, Jackson should be configured to handle LocalDate as an array > of dates. > All controllers which use GSON work on "custom" not good serialization, > and this converts LocalDate to array dates.
