• WS_READ_REQUIRED_VALUE.
• WS_READ_REQUIRED_POINTER.

[in, optional] heap

The heap to store the deserialized values in.

Remarks

See WS_TYPE_MAPPING for how to use this function to read values from elements and attributes.

If the API fails, the state of input reader becomes undefined. The only APIs that may be used on the reader if this occurs are WsSetInput and WsSetInputToBuffer to return the reader to a usable state, or WsFreeReader to free the reader.
