Delayed

Allows the developer to delay the real encoding process until they decide to

  • DelayedSingleValueEncodingContainer

Filtered

Allows the developer to filter objects out from being writting to the encoder

Injected

Allows the developer to add in objects to the decoding process

  • InjectedKeyedDecodingContainer

  • InjectedUnkeyedDecodingContainer
  • WrappedInjectedKeyedDecodingContainer

Helper Coders

Used to calling new coder processing withing an already coding process. They wrap the current container into a coder object for use on the encode(to:) and the init(from:)

  • WrappedKeyedDecoder
  • WrappedKeyedEncoder
  • WrappedSingleValueDecoder
  • WrappedSingleValueEncoder
  • WrappedUnkeyedDecoder
  • WrappedUnkeyedEncoder

Custom CodingPath Wrappers

  • WrappedUnkeyedDecodingContainer
  • WrappedKeyedEncodingContainer
  • WrappedUnkeyedEncodingContainer
  • WrappedSingleValueDecodingContainer
  • WrappedSingleValueEncodingContainer
  • WrappedDecoder
  • WrappedEncoder

Helper Catchers

Catches either the Encoder or Decoder for use outside the normal coding process

  • EncoderCatcher
  • DecoderCatcher

Helpers

  • CodableHelper - All static functions within this class are now deprecated. Please refer to the proper container/encoder/decoder for an equivinalt replacement method
    • sequences - Where sequence related helper methods are located
      • dynamicElementEncoding - Encodes an array like a dictionary based on a property in the object type
        • Notes
          • Array order is not guaranteed
          • CodingPath when encoding will be malformed. The Dynamic Key will be missing
      • dynamicElementDecoding - Decodes a dictionary into an array moving the key to a specific property named value
        • Notes
          • Array order is not guaranteed
          • CodingPath when decoding will be malformed. The Dynamic Key will be missing
    • arrays - Where array related encode/decode helper methods are located
      • Notes
        • When working with numeric values with, if the decimal portion is Zero, the encoder will cut it down to an Int, and the decoder will then read it as an Int
        • When working with Bools stored in Any, on Linux Swift versions 4.0-4.0.3 when decoding they convert to Int. This is an issue with the JSONDecoder. It works correctly in 4.2.
    • dictionaries - Where dictionary related encode/decode helper methods are located
      • Notes
        • When working with numeric values with, if the decimal portion is Zero, the encoder will cut it down to an Int, and the decoder will then read it as an Int
        • When working with Bools stored in Any, on Linux Swift versions 4.0-4.0.3 when decoding they convert to Int. This is an issue with the JSONDecoder. It works correctly in 4.2.

Protocols

  • CodableSequenceDynamicKeyHelper - A protocol used on types that implement Sequence that provide the necessary logic to encode into dictionaries based on a specific property name and decode back into an sequence. This protocol relies on the dynamicElementEncoding and dynamicElementDecoding methods
  • BaseEncoderTypeBoxing - A protocol for defining the type boxing methods used by the encoders. Allows for overriding the value being encoding
  • BaseDecoderTypeUnboxing - A protocol for defining the type unboxing methods used by decoders. Allows for overriding the value being decoded

Usage

Object:

public struct Person {
    let name: String
    let age: Int
}
// Implement Codable on Person
extension Person: Codable {
    ...
}

// Custom Sequence that contains Person objects
public struct PersonSequence: MutableCollection, Codable {
    public typealias Element = Person
    static var ElementKey: String = "name"

    // rest of code to setup this as a MutableCollection
    ...
}

Simple Array Coding:

import CodableHelpers
// Setup array
let array: [Person] = [Person(name: "Person A", age: 36),
                       Person(name: "Person B", age: 30)]

let encoder = JSONEncoder()
encoder.outputFormatting = .prettyPrinted
// Encode the array
let d = try encoder.dynamicElementEncoding(ary, usingKey: "name")
let s = String(data: d, encoding: .utf8)!
print(s)

let decoder = JSONDecoder()
// Decode the array
let r = try decoder.dynamicElementDecoding(from: d,
                                           usingKey: "name",
                                           ofType: Person.self)
print(r)

Custom Sequence Coding:

import CodableHelpers
// Setup sequence
let p1 = Person(name: "Person A", age: 36)
let p2 = Person(name: "Person B", age: 30)

var array: PersonSequence = PersonSequence()
array.append(p1)
array.append(p2)

let encoder = JSONEncoder()
encoder.outputFormatting = .prettyPrinted
// Encode the sequence
let d = try encoder.encode(ary)
let s = String(data: d, encoding: .utf8)!
print(s)
            
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
// Decode the sequence
let r = try decoder.decode(PersonSequence.self, from: d)
print(r)
