  • How does one decode this JSON data?
    2 projects | /r/iOSProgramming | 23 Feb 2023
    I don’t think you are going to be able to use JSONDecoder to do what you are asking. I see the problem is that you need to create a struct that has all the property names (pokemon names) in it in order to use JSONDecoder (that’s a pain). You need to resort to “parsing” the JSON and constructing your own data model to satisfy your requirements. Something like this might help. https://github.com/SwiftyJSON/SwiftyJSON
  • Best practices for parsing dynamic/unstructured JSON?

    Up until now, I've been using SwiftyJSON, although it appears to be unmaintained. Is there an equivalent alternative which functions similarly? Thanks in advance
