I am trying to deserialize a type that is polymorphic on one of its properties but cant seem to figure out a way. 🧵

[efemoney]

I receive a json list of this type

@Serializable
class TransformedToken<V>(
  val type: String,
  val name: String,
  val value: V,
  val description: String?,
  val original: Original<V>,
  val attributes: JsonObject,
  val path: List<String>,
  val filePath: String,
  val isSource: Boolean,
)

typeof value changes based on

Cant seem to figure out a way to say:
“while deserializing value , discriminate based on parent’s type field” 😞

You will beed to write a custom adapter for that.

Here are the docs on polymorphism
