Deserialize JSON field with multiple possible types in Rust

Read Original

This technical article addresses a common challenge in Rust: deserializing JSON fields that can contain multiple data types (e.g., boolean, integer, string, array, or null). It explores solutions using the serde library, including the use of untagged enums and writing a custom deserializer function to convert all possible incoming types into a single, uniform type for application use.
