Hi, Is there any way to retrieve schema from the encoded data without knowing its schema prior to deserialization? As requested, we have given the steps that we did for serializing the data and schema.
Please help us in resolving the scenario. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks and Regards, Arun G.
