Configuring polymorphic serialization by tag/ID is proving surprisingly difficult due to the lack of documentation. Are there any resources I should look at?

I did, yes. It was specific to my situation, but I can describe the problem I had. The API I'm interacting with sends type info with a `type` key, and an *integer* value. I was trying to use `SerialId` to set the discriminator, but I kept getting the error message that there were no serializers configured for the type integers I was getting. I eventually figured out that I needed to use `SerialName` instead, and after that everything worked as expected.

Are you able to access this `type` key, post deserialisation?

I ended up removing the property because it was unnecessary after implementing polymorphic serialization, so I'm not sure
