Use Poison to decode map of structs
Hey everyone,
I was wondering if there is a chance to decode am map from json to a map of predefined structs. Important is that the keys are not predefined.
So in the end I would love to transform this
{
"text": "A pet food distribution center where the animal can tap the screen and receive a treat or meal. Would allow for healthy regulation and training.",
"annotation_candidates": {
"tap": {
"text": "tap",
"resource_candidates": [
{
"label": "Tap water",
"resource": "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tap_water"
},
{
"label": "Tap dance",
"resource": "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tap_dance"
}
]
},
"receive": {
"name": "receive",
"offset": 71,
"resource_candidates": [
{
"label": "Radio receiver",
"resource": "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Radio_receiver"
}
]
}
]
}
into this
%AnnotationCandidates{
text: "A pet food distribution center where the animal can tap the screen and receive a treat or meal. Would allow for healthy regulation and training.",
annotation_candidates: %{
"tap" => %AnnotationCandidate{
text: "tap",
offset: 52,
resource_candidates: [
%ResourceCandidate{
label: "Tap Water"
resource: "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tap_water",
confidence: 0.2600142258675502
},
%ResourceCandidate{ ... }
]
},
"receive" => %AnnotationCandidate{ ... }
}
}
I don’t know if that is possible (or a dumb idea)
Thank you for your help.

Structs have fixed keys. So if you don’t know the keys ahead of time then you can’t use a structural and need to use a map instead.
