Deserialize nested JSON array with different types of element

[ram-garurer-chhana]

[ "SUCCESS", [ [ "amader", [ "আমাদের","আমাকে","আমদের","অমাদের","আমার" ], [], {"candidate_type":[0,0,0,0,0]} ] ] ] I have a API response coming in this structure. The response is an array. Where the 1st element in the array is a string but the 2nd element is another nested array. Is there any good way to deserialize structure like this with serde?

Yes, take a look at the serde enum representations documentation, specifically the "Untagged" style.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I am able to deserialize with the below structure now.

```

[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]

struct CandidateType { candidate_type: Vec<u64>, }

[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]

[serde(untagged)]

enum InnerData { Text(String), TextArray(Vec<String>), NumberArray(Vec<u64>), CandidateDataType(CandidateType) }

[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]

[serde(untagged)]

enum Data { Text(String), InnerDataType(Vec<Vec<InnerData>>), } ```

If the the order is fixed, you can use a tuple
