12/10/2019, 4:27 PMHave not done exactly this, but you may be able to do what you need by decoding to a JsonObject. This will give you a Map<String, JsonElement> . Unfortunately there is not an easy way to get the type, but you may be able to use JsonElement.primitive.booleanOrNull , floatOrNull, etc to find the type.
will your payload have nested objects?
