DynamicCodableKit
DynamicCodableKit helps you to implement dynamic JSON decoding within the constraints of Swift's sound type system by working on top of Swift's Codable implementations.
The data types, protocols, and property wrappers defined by DynamicCodableKit can be used to provide dynamic decoding functionality to swift's Decodable types.
Features
- Decode dynamic type based on JSON keys.
- Decode dynamic type based on parent JSON key.
- Dynamically decode types with default value if decoding fails.
- Decode dynamic type array/set with option to ignore invalid elements.
- Decode dynamic data based on user actions.

Installation
CocoaPods
CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. For usage and installation instructions, visit their website. To integrate DynamicCodableKit into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:
pod 'DynamicCodableKit'
Optionally, you can also use the pre-built XCFramework from the GitHub releases page by replacing {version} with the required version you want to use:
pod 'DynamicCodableKit', :http => 'https://github.com/SwiftyLab/DynamicCodableKit/releases/download/v{version}/DynamicCodableKit-{version}.xcframework.zip'
Carthage
Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks. To integrate DynamicCodableKit into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:
github "SwiftyLab/DynamicCodableKit"
Swift Package Manager
The Swift Package Manager is a tool for automating the distribution of Swift code and is integrated into the swift compiler.
Once you have your Swift package set up, adding DynamicCodableKit as a dependency is as easy as adding it to the dependencies value of your Package.swift.
.package(url: "https://github.com/SwiftyLab/DynamicCodableKit.git", from: "1.0.0"),
Optionally, you can also use the pre-built XCFramework from the GitHub releases page by replacing {version} and {checksum} with the required version and checksum of artifact you want to use:
.binaryTarget(name: "DynamicCodableKit", url: "https://github.com/SwiftyLab/DynamicCodableKit/releases/download/v{version}/DynamicCodableKit-{version}.xcframework.zip", checksum: "{checksum}"),
Manually
If you prefer not to use any of the aforementioned dependency managers, you can integrate DynamicCodableKit into your project manually.
Git Submodule
-
Open up Terminal,
cdinto your top-level project directory, and run the following command "if" your project is not initialized as a git repository:$ git init
-
Add
DynamicCodableKitas a git submodule by running the following command:$ git submodule add https://github.com/SwiftyLab/DynamicCodableKit.git
-
Open the new
DynamicCodableKitfolder, and drag theDynamicCodableKit.xcodeprojinto the Project Navigator of your application's Xcode project or existing workspace.It should appear nested underneath your application's blue project icon. Whether it is above or below all the other Xcode groups does not matter.
-
Select the
DynamicCodableKit.xcodeprojin the Project Navigator and verify the deployment target satisfies that of your application target (should be less or equal). -
Next, select your application project in the Project Navigator (blue project icon) to navigate to the target configuration window and select the application target under the
Targetsheading in the sidebar. -
In the tab bar at the top of that window, open the "General" panel.
-
Click on the
+button under theFrameworks and Librariessection. -
You will see
DynamicCodableKit.xcodeprojfolder withDynamicCodableKit.frameworknested inside. -
Select the
DynamicCodableKit.frameworkand that's it!The
DynamicCodableKit.frameworkis automagically added as a target dependency, linked framework and embedded framework in build phase which is all you need to build on the simulator and a device.
XCFramework
You can also directly download the pre-built artifact from the GitHub releases page:
-
Download the artifact from the GitHub releases page of the format
DynamicCodableKit-{version}.xcframework.zipwhere{version}is the version you want to use. -
Extract the XCFramework from the archive, and drag the
DynamicCodableKit.xcframeworkinto the Project Navigator of your application's target folder in your Xcode project. -
Select
Copy items if neededand that's it!The
DynamicCodableKit.xcframeworkis automagically added in the embeddedFrameworks and Librariessection, an in turn the linked framework in build phase.
Usage
See the full documentation for API details and articles on sample scenarios.
