# Ktor: Moshi

The Moshi feature allows you to handle JSON content in your application easily using the [Moshi](https://github.com/square/moshi/) library.

This feature provides a [ContentNegotiation](http://ktor.io/servers/features/content-negotiation.html) converter.

## Usage

Install the feature by registering a JSON content converter using Moshi:

```kotlin
install(ContentNegotiation) {
moshi {
// Configure the Moshi.Builder here.
add(Date::class.java, Rfc3339DateJsonAdapter())
}
}
```

Inside the `moshi` block you have access to the [Moshi.Builder](http://square.github.io/moshi/1.x/moshi/com/squareup/moshi/Moshi.Builder.html), which you can configure as needed for your application.

If you already have an instance of Moshi you can simply provide that and it will be used, instead of creating a new one.

```kotlin
install(ContentNegotiation) {
moshi(myInjectedMoshi)
}
```

Once the Moshi converter is installed you use it like you would any other ContentNegotiation converter, by using `call.respond(myObject)` and `call.receive()`.

```kotlin
routing {
get("/") {
// Simply pass an object to `call.respond` and it will be
// converted to JSON if the client accepts `application/json`
val myResponseObject = ...
call.respond(myResponseObject)
}
post("/") {
// Use `call.receive` to get the JSON request as a
// deserialized object.
val request = call.receive()
...
}
}
```
