Description

@spacether

When using OAS to describe a complex polymorphic graph, the client is currently unable to serialize grandchildren of any given type (subclasses of subclasses.) I have made a recursive model lookup function, which recursively looks at the discriminators of the subclasses (discriminated classes) until the leaf nodes, but that has very bad performance, reducing performance to 1/100 of normal deserialization. There is a lot of repeated work done for the same model over and over, so I added caching, and the performance is now roughly 1/10 of what it was. Ideally, there would be some way to specify the whole type mapping dictionary.
