:relfileprefix: ../../../
:mrdocs:

Decode an object of parameterized `TYPE` from the specified `stream` and load the result into the specified modifiable `variable`. Return 0 on success, and a non‐zero value otherwise. If the decoding fails `stream` will be invalidated. Note that this function behaves identically to `decode`, but does not instantiate any templates at compile time at the expense of being slightly slower at runtime; see the `balber` package documentation for more details.
