decode Json string to class object Swift

Question

 private func createWeatherObjectWith(json: Data, x:Any.Type ,completion: @escaping (_ data: Any?, _ error: Error?) -> Void) {
        do {
            let decode         


        

Answer 1

If you are trying to decode any type of object then use these technique

1. Generics function

private func createWeatherObjectWith<T: Decodable>(json: Data, Object:T.Type ,completion: @escaping (_ data: T?, _ error: Error?) -> Void) {
    do {
        let decoder = JSONDecoder()
        decoder.keyDecodingStrategy = .convertFromSnakeCase
        let weather = try decoder.decode(T.self, from: json)
        return completion(weather, nil)
    } catch let error {
        return completion(nil, error)
    }
}

2. Extend Decodable

extension Decodable {
    static func map(JSONString:String) -> Self? {
        do {
            let decoder = JSONDecoder()
            decoder.keyDecodingStrategy = .convertFromSnakeCase
            return try decoder.decode(Self.self, from: Data(JSONString.utf8))
        } catch let error {
            print(error)
            return nil
        }
    }
}

Use:

let user = User.map(JSONString:"your JSON string")
let users = [User].map(JSONString:"your JSON string")

Trying to decode any type of Object to String in Swift 4.1

func convertAnyObjectToJSONString(from object:Any) -> String? {

    guard let data = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: object, options: []) else { 

        return nil 
    }

    return String(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8) 
}
