\n2. Deserialize the YAML into a dictionary:<\/strong> The first deserialization step converts the YAML into a dictionary where each top-level key (like config_one and config_two) maps to an object. This uses the Dictionary
\n3. Extract the specific part:<\/strong> After the YAML is deserialized into a dictionary, you can access the part of the YAML you are interested in (in this case, config_one). The value of config_one is still in YAML format and needs to be converted to a string.
\n4. Deserialize the specific part:<\/strong> Finally, you use another deserializer to convert the extracted YAML string into an instance of ConfigOne.<\/p>\nNotes<\/h2>\n
