> You must validate that deserislized value matches the schema, and you can only do so at runtime

I assume you mean serialised data, not deserialized. And yes, deserializing includes type checking. The point is that this happens once and the need for a separate API for dynamic data shouldn't be needed.

What do you mean by a separate api for dynamic data?

The data under discussion isn't "dynamic", it's still static, it just isn't known to the schema in question at runtime (since it's only known to a different schema). That means you can't access it by name, since the field names aren't known.
