@leisim it works, thanks!

@leisim
I tried downgrading to analyzer v0.38.2 but it doesn't work for me.

By the way, I am not getting this while generating hive adapter but when using it to read from cache on app's restart.

It's a company project so I can't provide code. But I can provide a basic object structure outline for reference.

{
  "meta_data": {}, //small data object, (10-15 string properties)

  "raw_data": [] //a very bug list of small objects( 5-8 numeric properties) with upto 5K objects at a time
}

Can you tell me what the maximum in-memory object size that type adapter can parse at a time?
Thanks in advance.

Update 1 :

When I used jsonString format to store and retrieve the same object via HiveBox then it worked fine and did not throw any error.
