Most likely our dictionary will be part of a model that needs to be encoded/decoded. Bonus: a property wrapper!Ĭredits to Jarrod Davis for this solution. Thanks to this new definition DictionaryWrapper will encode any Swift dictionary into a json/plist dictionary as long as the key used has an associated RawValue of type String or Int. I couldn't find a way to restrict this exclusively for Key.RawValue = String or Key.RawValue = Int, mainly because of Swift's ban on overlapping conformances, if you find a way, please let me know. When it comes to json, the same dictionary above will have the following format: )
Here's an example with four key-value pairs: let dictionary: = [ That means that if we iterate over a string (for example using a for loop), each element will be a Character which might be a letter, an emoji, or some other form of character. Swift dictionaries are a generic collection of key-value elements, where the Key type needs to conform to Hashable (for performance reasons), and the Value type has no restrictions. In Swift, a string is composed of a collection of Character values, stored using the UTF-8 encoding.
We will focus on json examples, the same can be applied to plists. Parsing JSON is one the most common by Omer Mac O’Clock Medium Write Sign up Sign In 500 Apologies, but something went wrong on our end. In this article let's have a look at a little known behavior when it comes to dictionaries with custom key types. Returns a collection of shapes.MaFederico Zanetello much every project out there nowadays uses Codable, introduced in 2017 with Swift 4.įast forward to 2021 and Codable can still surprise us: Parsing Embedded JSON and Arrays in Swift Tony DiPasquale Septemupdated on Maios swift In the previous posts ( first post, second post) about parsing JSON in Swift we saw how to use functional programming concepts and generics to make JSON decoding consise and readable. Let’s imagine an example where we are using a remote service that Obvious how to represent our data in a strongly typed language like Swift. SwiftyJSON is a library that helps to read and process JSON data from an API/Server. Here I arbitrarily name the class (that wraps your original JSON) as BlogPost. Step 1 : Create a class that matches your JSON and is derived from Codable. Receiving data from a remote service is super common but it’s not always There is an easy way to do this in Swift 4.x But I had a difficult time getting to the simple answer so I'll post it here. Quite the mouthful of a title but nevertheless it’s a typical problem.
