Features:
- No need to write own
init(from decoder: Decoder) - No need to write own CodingKeys subclass
- Works with inheritance and composition out of the box
- Custom Transformer classes
- Alternative coding keys
- Default values if JSON key is missing
struct Foo: Serializable {
@Serialized
var bar: String
@Serialized("globalId")
var id: String?
@Serialized(alternateKey: "mobileNumber")
var phoneNumber: String?
@Serialized(default: 0)
var score: Int

pod 'SerializedSwift'
If you are using SPM for your dependency manager, add this to the dependencies in your Package.swift file:
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/dejanskledar/SerializableSwift.git")
]
- iOS 10.0+ / macOS 10.12+ / tvOS 10.0+ / watchOS 3.0+
- Xcode 11+
- Swift 5.1+
class User: Serializable {
@Serialized
var name: String
@Serialized("globalId")
var id: String?
@Serialized(alternateKey: "mobileNumber")
var phoneNumber: String?
@Serialized(default: 0)
var score: Int
required init() {}
}No additional decoding logic needed
class PowerUser: User {
@Serialized
var powerName: String?
@Serialized(default: 0)
var credit: Int
}No additional decoding logic needed
class ChatRoom: Serializable {
@Serialized
var admin: PowerUser?
@Serialized(default: [])
var users: [User]
}You can create own custom Transformable classes, for custom transformation logic.
class DateTransformer: Transformable {
static func transformFromJSON(from value: String?) -> Date? {
let formatter = DateFormatter()
return formatter.date(from: value ?? "")
}
static func transformToJson(from value: Date?) -> String? {
let formatter = DateFormatter()
return formatter.string(from: value ?? Date())
}
}
struct User: Serializable {
@SerializedTransformable<DateTransformer>
var birthDate: Date?
}- typealias-ed from
SerializableEncodable&SerializableDecodable - Custom decoding and encoding using propertyWrappers (listed below)
- Use this protocol for your classes and structures in the combination with the property wrappers belos
- Serialization propertyWrapper for all properties, optional and non-optionals!
- Custom decoding Key
- By default using the propertyName as a Decoding Key
- Alternative Decoding Key support
- Optional Default value (if the key is missing). By default, the Default value is
nil. For non-optionals, default value is recommended, to avoid crashes
@Serialized("mainKey", alternativeKey: "backupKey", default: "")
var key: String?- Custom transforming property wrapper
- Create own Transformable classes
- Transforming Decodable objects to own types, like custom String Date format to native Date
class DateTransformer: Transformable {
static func transformFromJSON(from value: String?) -> Date? {
let formatter = DateFormatter()
return formatter.date(from: value ?? "")
}
static func transformToJson(from value: Date?) -> String? {
let formatter = DateFormatter()
return formatter.string(from: value ?? "")
}
}
// Usage of `SerializedTransformable`
struct User: Serializable {
@SerializedTransformable<DateTransformer>
var birthDate: Date?
} This is only a tip of the iceberg of what can one achieve using Property Wrappers and how se can improve Decoding and Encoding JSON in Swift. Feel free to colaborate.
