This question already has an answer here: What Is Preventing My Conversion From String to Int When Decoding Using Swift 4’s Codable? 1 answer I have a JSON { "tvShow": { "id": 5348, "name": "Supernatural", "permalink": "supernatural", "url": "http://www.episodate.com/tv-show/supernatural", "description": "Supernatural is an American fantasy horror television series created by Eric Kripke.

I have to decode a JSON with a big structure and a lot of nested arrays. I have reproduced the structure in my UserModel file, and it works, except with one property (postcode) that is in a nested array (Location) that sometimes is an Int and some other is a String. I don't know how to handle this situation and tried a lot of different solutions. The last one I've tried is from this blog https://agostini.tech/2017/11/12/swift-4-codable-in-real-life-part-2/ And it suggests using generics. But now I can't initialize the Location object without providing a Decoder(): Any help or any different

Is it possible to implement the Encodable and Decodable properties for UIColor When I try to add a Decodable extension I get an error extension UIColor : Decodable { public required init(from decoder: Decoder) throws { self.init(red: 1, green: 1, blue: 1, alpha: 1) } } error: ColorStuff.playground:98:21: error: initializer requirement 'init(from:)' can only be satisfied by a required initializer in the definition of non-final class 'UIColor' public required init(from decoder: Decoder) throws { Am I missing something obvious here? I have no issues with the Encodable extension - it seems its a

I am using Codable protocol from Swift 4 first time, I am not able to understand use of decodeIfPresent from Decodable . /// Decodes a value of the given type for the given key, if present. /// /// This method returns `nil` if the container does not have a value associated with `key`, or if the value is null. The difference between these states can be distinguished with a `contains(_:)` call. /// /// - parameter type: The type of value to decode. /// - parameter key: The key that the decoded value is associated with. /// - returns: A decoded value of the requested type, or `nil` if the

I'm currently working with Codable types in my project and facing an issue. struct Person: Codable { var id: Any } id in the above code could be either a String or an Int . This is the reason id is of type Any . I know that Any is not Codable . What I need to know is how can I make it work. Codable needs to know the type to cast to. Firstly I would try to address the issue of not knowing the type, see if you can fix that and make it simpler. Otherwise the only way I can think of solving your issue currently is to use generics like below. struct Person<T> { var id: T var name: String } let

{ "values":[ [1,1,7,"Azuan Child","Anak Azuan","12345","ACTIVE","Morning",7,12,"2017-11-09 19:45:00"], [28,1,0,"Azuan Child2","Amran","123456","ACTIVE","Evening",1,29,"2017-11-09 19:45:00"] ] } Ok, this is my json format that i received from the server Right now i want to decode it into my struct but still have no luck on it. struct ChildrenTable: Decodable { var values: [[String]]? } And my caller method on URLSession look like this URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, err) in guard let data = data else { return } let dataAsString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)
