在Swift 4中解码没有键的JSON

Question

我正在使用一个返回这个非常可怕的JSON的API:

[
  "A string",
  [
    "A string",
    "A string",
    "A string",
    "A string",
    …
  ]
]

我正在尝试使用JSONDecoder解码嵌套数组,但它没有单个键,我真的不知道从哪里开始......你有什么想法吗？

非常感谢!

如果结构保持不变，则可以使用此可分解方法。

首先创建一个可解码的模型，如下所示：

struct MyModel: Decodable {
    let firstString: String
    let stringArray: [String]

    init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
        var container = try decoder.unkeyedContainer()
        firstString = try container.decode(String.self)
        stringArray = try container.decode([String].self)
    }
}

或者，如果您确实想要保留JSON的结构，则如下所示：

struct MyModel: Decodable {
    let array: [Any]

    init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
        var container = try decoder.unkeyedContainer()
        let firstString = try container.decode(String.self)
        let stringArray = try container.decode([String].self)
        array = [firstString, stringArray]
    }
}

像这样使用

let jsonString = """
["A string1", ["A string2", "A string3", "A string4", "A string5"]]
"""
if let jsonData = jsonString.data(using: .utf8) {
    let myModel = try? JSONDecoder().decode(MyModel.self, from: jsonData)
}

这对于解码来说有点有趣。

你没有任何key. 所以它消除了对包装器的需要struct。

但是看看内部类型。你得到String和[String]类型的混合。所以你需要一些处理这种混合类型的东西。你需要一个enum准确的。

// I've provided the Encodable & Decodable both with Codable for clarity. You obviously can omit the implementation for Encodable
enum StringOrArrayType: Codable {
    case string(String)
    case array([String])

    init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
        let container = try decoder.singleValueContainer()
        do {
            self = try .string(container.decode(String.self))
        } catch DecodingError.typeMismatch {
            do {
                self = try .array(container.decode([String].self))
            } catch DecodingError.typeMismatch {
                throw DecodingError.typeMismatch(StringOrArrayType.self, DecodingError.Context(codingPath: decoder.codingPath, debugDescription: "Encoded payload conflicts with expected type"))
            }
        }
    }

    func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws {
        var container = encoder.singleValueContainer()
        switch self {
        case .string(let string):
            try container.encode(string)
        case .array(let array):
            try container.encode(array)
        }
    }
}

解码过程：

let json = """
[
  "A string",
  [
    "A string",
    "A string",
    "A string",
    "A string"
  ]
]
""".data(using: .utf8)!

do {
    let response = try JSONDecoder().decode([StringOrArrayType].self, from: json)
    // Here, you have your Array
    print(response) // ["A string", ["A string", "A string", "A string", "A string"]]

    // If you want to get elements from this Array, you might do something like below
    response.forEach({ (element) in
        if case .string(let string) = element {
            print(string) // "A string"
        }
        if case .array(let array) = element {
            print(array) // ["A string", "A string", "A string", "A string"]
        }
    })
} catch {
    print(error)
}
