When dealing with unpredictable or changing JSON structures, use a `Map` for fields where the value can be anything. This is a flexible, generic solution. Jackson and Gson will parse the JSON keys as Strings and values as appropriate Java types (String, Integer, Boolean, or nested Maps/Lists). Another option is a generic `Object` type, requiring casting to the correct type after parsing.
