Interface Deserializer<T,S>

Type Parameters:
T - the type of the reconstructed domain object
S - the type of the serialized representation
Functional Interface:
This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
@FunctionalInterface public interface Deserializer<T,S>
Defines a functional contract for reconstructing domain objects from their serialized representations.

Note: This is an experimental feature and is currently considered unstable. Implementations are responsible for converting raw or encoded data (such as a Map<String, Object>) back into strongly-typed domain instances.
