Polymorphic Responses with Discriminator Field

· One min read

APIMatic Code Generation engine now supports polymorphic responses with the help of a discriminator field.

  • Discriminator is a field that is used to differentiate between a parent model and models that inherit from it.
  • The response is deserialized into the parent model or one of its child classes by inspecting the discriminator field's value in the response.
  • Using a discriminator field, you can build leaner models by not having to build unions of fields needed by a polymorphic response.

Check out the Discriminator documentation to get started.

Details​

The Discriminator documentation details how to handle polymorphic response in your API.
