Decodes a typed input (the schema's Encoded type) against a schema, returning an Option that is Some with the decoded value on success or None for schema mismatches.

When to use

Use when you already have input typed as the schema's Encoded type and only need to know whether decoding succeeded.

Details

For unknown input use decodeUnknownOption. Options may be provided either when creating the decoder or when applying it; application options override creation options.

Gotchas

Only causes made entirely of schema issues are converted to None. Causes that contain defects, interruptions, or other non-schema reasons throw instead.
