Installation

CocoaPods

Add the following to your Podfile:

use_frameworks!

target 'TargetName' do
  pod 'Alembic'
end

Carthage

Add the following to your Cartfile:

github "ra1028/Alembic"

Swift Package Manager

Add the following to your Package.swift:

// swift-tools-version:4.0

let package = Package(
    name: "ProjectName",
    dependencies : [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/ra1028/Alembic.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "3"))
    ]
)

Example

In example, parse the following JSON:

{
    "teams": [
        {
            "name": "Team ra1028",
            "url": "https://github.com/ra1028",
            "members": [
                {
                    "name": "Ryo Aoyama",
                    "age": 23
                },
                {
                    "name": "John Doe",
                    "age": 30
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Make the JSON instance from Any, Data or String type JSON object.

// from `Any` type JSON object
let json = JSON(object)
// from JSON Data
let json = try JSON(data: data)
// from JSON String
let json = try JSON(string: string)

Parse value from JSON:

Parse the values type-safely

let memberName: String = try json.value(for: ["teams", 0, "members", 0, "name"])

Parse nullable value

let missingText: String? = try json.option(for: "missingKey")

Parse value from JSON with transforming:

Transform value using various monadic functions.

let teamUrl: URL = try json.parse(String.self, for: ["teams", 0, "url"])
        .filterMap(URL.init(string:))
        .value()

Transform nullable value if exist

let missingUrl: URL? = try json.parse(String.self, for: "missingKey")
        .filterMap(URL.init(string:))
        .option()

Mapping to model from JSON:

All types conforming to Parsable protocol and it's Array, Dictionary can be parsed.

struct Member: Parsable {
    let name: String
    let age: Int

    static func value(from json: JSON) throws -> Member {
        return try .init(
            name: json.value(for: "name"),
            age: json.value(for: "age")
        )
    }
}

extension URL: Parsable {
    public static func value(from json: JSON) throws -> URL {
        guard let url = try URL(string: json.value()) else {
            throw JSON.Error.dataCorrupted(value: json.rawValue, description: "The value was not valid url string.")
        }
        return url
    }
}

struct Team: Parsable {
    let name: String
    let url: URL
    let members: [Member]

    static func value(from json: JSON) throws -> Team {
        return try .init(
            name: json.value(for: "name"),
            url: json.value(for: "url"),
            members: json.value(for: "members")
        )
    }
}
let team: Team = try json.value(for: ["teams", 0])

Tips

The types conformed to Parsable as default.

JSON
String
Int
UInt
Double
Float
Bool
NSNumber
Int8
UInt8
Int16
UInt16
Int32
UInt32
Int64
UInt64
Decimal
Array where Element: Parsable
Dictionary where Key == String, Value: Parsable
Optional where Wrapped: Parsable

Conform to Parsable with initializer

struct Member: ParseInitializable {
    let name: String
    let age: Int

    init(with json: JSON) throws {
        name = try json.value(for: "name")
        age = try json.value(for: "age")
    }
}
