How to parse values of an object into struct

[iilyak]

I have a JSON in the following format.

{  
   "person1": {
      "name": "name1"
   },
   "person2": {
      "name": "name2"
   }
}

defmodule Person do
  defstruct [:name]
end

How do I specify as parameter to parse into Person struct?

I cannot specify %Person{} since it would mean different thing:

> Poison.decode!(json, %Person{})
%{"person1" => %{"name" => "name1"}, "person2" => %{"name" => "name2"}}

I know that there is no support for things like as: {String, %Person{}}. Are there any workarounds?
