You can in fact mix typed and untyped parsing, by having a `ujson.Value` field in the middle of your typed case class or collection. It just works

Thank you Li!

`ujson.Value` is in chapter 8.1.1. of your excellent Hands-On Scala book I've bought.

Turns out for arbitrary JSON you can do this:

  val rawData = read[ujson.Value](JSONstring)
For JSON where you know most of the structure but have mixed types for object values: https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos

  val todoData = read[Seq[Map[String,ujson.Value]]](todoJSON)
