    "Value1",
    "Value2"
  ],
  "Table": {
    "Index1": "Value1",
    "Index2": "Value2"
  }
}
]]

local result = serde.deserialize("json", jsonText)

print(result.Index)         --> true
print(result.Array[1])      --> Value1
print(result.Table.Index2)  --> Value2

toml

local serde = include("serde")

local tomlText = [[
title = "Example"

[owner]
name = "Tom"
dob = "1979-05-27T07:32:00Z"

local result = serde.deserialize("toml", tomlText)
