# serialization

[ankushg]

Is there a way to deserialize dynamic into a sealed (polymorphic) class using DynamicObjectParser, use a different mechanism than the normal classDiscriminator=SerialName to determine which concrete type is selected?

For context, I'm consuming dynamic json objects from an external source (which will be very very hard to change to provide a classDiscriminator along with everything). They've got typescript definitions such as:

type AttributeContentType =
  | {
      word: String;
    }
  | {
      definition: String;
    };

I've represented this in Kotlin as:

sealed class AttributeContentType
data class WordAttributeContent(val word: String) : AttributeContentType()
data class DefinitionAttributeContent(val definition: String) : AttributeContentType()

In the above case, I'd want something like js("""{ word: "foo" }""") to be deserialized into a WordAttributeContent by (somehow) seeing that it has the word field.
