Dynamically Deserialize with BorshSchema about borsh-rs

[frol]

@FrankC01 I see. Let's close this issue. Feel free to create a new one once you have clarity on your side

@nearmax Any input to my question above?

[frol]

@FrankC01 borsh-rs is designed to be static, so it is going to be a completely separate effort to implement a dynamic version of it. It would even make sense to consider using serde and publish it as a new crate.

[frol]

 let c = B::try_from_slice(&b).unwrap(); // THROWS EXCEPTION

What would be the type of variable c in your example? You cannot expect it to be of type B, right? Type B is an empty struct.

So after chatting on Discord I realize that my example was based on a misunderstanding on my part. I'm working on what I needed by parsing the inbound YAML and instantiating necessary constructs which reflect Type and then use standard Borsh deserialize on the input vector
