Is there a way how to deserialize JSON into dynamic object?
For example I have a data class, but I don't know the structure of prop2

@Serializable
data class (
val prop1:String
val prop2:dynamic
)

and JSON:

{
  "prop1": "somestring",
  "prop2": {
    "a": 1,
    "b": 2
  }
}

You probably can deserialize to JsonElement:
val prop2: JsonElement

[gildor]

but you probably still need a custom serializer for it, not sure that it supported out of the box

Deserialising to JsonElement works automatically:

@Serializable
data class ExampleData(val name: String, val payload: JsonElement)

val parsed = Json.Default.decodeFromString<ExampleData>("""
  {"name":"test","payload" {"k1":"v1","k2":"v2"}}
""".trimIndent())

assertThat(parsed.name, equalTo("test"))
assertThat(parsed.payload.jsonObject["k1"]?.jsonPrimitive?.content, equalTo("v1"))
