TinyJSON

Lightweight JSON processing lib inspired by SwiftyJSON. Uses same approach for traversing and getting values. Designed to be as thin as possible, yet easily usable with Codables.

Pro:

  • internally uses native Swift types (SwiftyJSON extensively uses its NS counterparts). Only NSNull is used to represent JSON nulls.

  • zero construction cost - created structs never go to heap, having less than 3 payload values.

  • never gets in the way when you utilize Swift features like optionals.

  • fails early and loudly, allowing you to see where errors are occured.

  • allows to work with JSON just like JavaScript does:

    let name = json.data.entries[0].name.string               // new
    let oldName = json["data"]["entries"][0]["name"].string   // old

Contra:

  • does not allow to change underlying JSON data now it does!
