Deserialization of json objects can fail silently

[sryhanen]

Description
Common workflow when deserializing websocket messages from generic json objects is to cast them to the expected type:

MessageDTO<T> = {
 op:string
 data:T
}

interface Ping = {
 msgId:string
}

const message:MessageDTO<unknown>;
if(message.op === 'PING'){
   const pingMessage = message as MessageDTO<Ping>; 

Casting objects to other types won't cause runtime errors and this might cause undetected bugs.
