# serialization

Is there a way to override the encodeDefaults value for a given field? I have a type field that I'm using to distinguish subclasses. Obviously, I set the val in each subclass, but when I'm deserializing, I only know it's the superclass and without the type, there's no way to know which subclass to deserialize to.

My workaround was to use a custom serializer, serialize to a JSON object, add the type to that manually, and then write the object out to the encoder. If there's a less convoluted way of doing that, let me know.
