polly VS quicktype

re: Grafana (i'm the author of the linked issue) - i'm quite excited, i do think there's a world of possibilities here.

Two-way sync with a git repo is one possible path, and we've talked a lot internally at GL about how to best support it. My sense is that we can do it with relatively little friction and likely will - but if you're just syncing with a git repo, there's still a lot of arbitrary, opaque repo layout decisions that still have to be made (how do you map a filesystem position for a dashboard to a position in Grafana? In a way that places the dashboards next to the systems they're intended to observe? With many teams? With many Grafana instances?) which induce new kinds of friction at scale.

Fortunately - and not mutually exclusively with the above - by building the system for schema in CUE, we've made a composable thing that we can make into larger systems. That's what we're starting to do with Polly: https://github.com/pollypkg/polly

Conveniently, my parts of a Grafanaconline talk tomorrow discusses both of these https://grafana.com/go/grafanaconline/2021/dashboards-as-cod... :D

Maybe use https://app.quicktype.io/

Try pasting the raw result into https://app.quicktype.io and see what the structures look like.

Copy-paste into https://app.quicktype.io and then adapt

You can conform your struct model to Decodable protocol and you can decode it. If you want, you can use this to auto generate your struct: https://app.quicktype.io (there are an example to how to use JSONDecoder). If you have any question to how to use, just search in google how to use Codable

Drop a sample API response into QuickType https://app.quicktype.io/

Something like this?

That looks really nice and useful. A good alternative to quicktype with finer control over fields.

If you are confused, paste the JSON into https://app.quicktype.io and it should help show what the model can look like in Swift. It sounds like you are getting a JSON record back, which is the most common response. Swift does not ignore the {.
