This is the code written in playground:
var urlComponents = URLComponents()
urlComponents.scheme = "http"
urlComponents.host = "xx.xx.xxx.x"
urlComponents.path = "/api/test/home"
urlComponents.queryItems = [URLQueryItem(name: "pricelistGroupId",value: "12")]
let url = urlComponents.url
var request = URLRequest(url: url!)
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField:
"Accept")
request.addValue("Basic \(authToken)", forHTTPHeaderField:
"Authorization")
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request)
{
(data, response, error) in
if let error = error
{
print("Error \(error)")
return
}
if let response = response as? HTTPURLResponse {
print("Response \(response.statusCode)")
}
if let data = data
{
let dataString = String(data:data, encoding: .utf8)
print(dataString)
let json = try? JSONDecoder().decode(PriceList.self,from:data)
print(json)
}
}
print(dataString) is printing the data. However, no data for print(json) it is showing nil in playground.
ResponseList init is stuck at 259 times (right side playground tab showing all process) whereas SampleTypeList is stuck at 346 times.
If I remove ? (optional) from [ResponseList]? and [SampleTypeList]? it showing "Cannot get unkeyed decoding container -- found null value instead."
Please, ignore typo errors.
Program is stuck at where it is finding null for eg two instances mainly
SampleTypeList = null (occurs many times in JSON) testPackageGroupID = null
CodePudding user response：
try this, works for me:
extension ResponseList: Codable { // <-- here not Decodable
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case packageID = "PackageId"
case packageName = "PackageName"
case price = "Price"
case discountedPrice = "DiscountedPrice"
case type = "Type"
case testPackageGroupID = "TestPackageGroupId"
case SampleType = "SampleTypeList"
}
init(from decoder:Decoder) throws {
let container = try decoder.container(keyedBy:CodingKeys.self)
packageID = try container.decode(Int.self,forKey: .packageID) // <-- here Int
packageName = try container.decode(String.self,forKey: .packageName)
price = try container.decode(Double.self,forKey: .price)
discountedPrice = try container.decode(Double.self,forKey:.discountedPrice)
type = try container.decode(String.self,forKey: .type)
testPackageGroupID = try container.decode(Int.self,forKey: .testPackageGroupID ) // <-- here Int
SampleType = try container.decode([SampleTypeList].self,forKey: .SampleType)

EDIT-2:
If you can have this in your json data:
"TestPackageGroupId": null,
"SampleTypeList": null
then try this approach to decode your json data:
struct ResponseList {
let packageID: Int
let packageName: String
let price, discountedPrice: Double
let type: String
let testPackageGroupID: Int? // <--- here optional
let SampleType: [SampleTypeList]? // <--- here optional
}
extension ResponseList: Codable { // <-- here not Decodable
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case packageID = "PackageId"
case packageName = "PackageName"
case price = "Price"
case discountedPrice = "DiscountedPrice"
case type = "Type"
case testPackageGroupID = "TestPackageGroupId"
case SampleType = "SampleTypeList"
}
init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
let container = try decoder.container(keyedBy:CodingKeys.self)
packageID = try container.decode(Int.self,forKey: .packageID) // <-- here Int
packageName = try container.decode(String.self,forKey: .packageName)
price = try container.decode(Double.self,forKey: .price)
discountedPrice = try container.decode(Double.self,forKey:.discountedPrice)
type = try container.decode(String.self,forKey: .type)
// --- here
testPackageGroupID = try container.decodeIfPresent(Int.self,forKey: .testPackageGroupID)
SampleType = try container.decodeIfPresent([SampleTypeList].self,forKey: .SampleType)
}
}
Likewise for any other elements that can have null.
CodePudding user response：
This code is enough:
struct PriceList: Decodable {
let success: Bool
let message: String
let response: [ResponseList]
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case success = "IsSuccess"
case message = "Message"
case response = "ResponseData"
}
}
struct ResponseList: Decodable {
let packageID: Int
let packageName: String
let price, discountedPrice: Double
let type: String
let testPackageGroupID: Int?
let sampleType: [SampleTypeList]?
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case packageID = "PackageId"
case packageName = "PackageName"
case price = "Price"
case discountedPrice = "DiscountedPrice"
case type = "Type"
case testPackageGroupID = "TestPackageGroupId"
case sampleType = "SampleTypeList"
}
}
struct SampleTypeList: Decodable {
let testSampleTypeID: String
let sampleName: String
let colourCode: String
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case testSampleTypeID = "TestSampleTypeId"
case sampleName = "SampleName"
case colourCode = "ColourCode"
}
}
What I did fix, what I didn't like from your sample code:
- Please name your variables starting with a lowercase, it's convention, and is easier to read (if everyone follow the same convention/standards).
- Make your code compilable for us. It's not that hard, but if anyone would want to help you, it be much easier for us to just copy/paste your code and test it and not fix everything in it. You'll have better chances to get an answer. There is a
Cannot assign value of type 'String' to type 'Int'becausepackageIDis set as an Int and trying to be decoded as a String, there are missing spaces:variable=instead ofvariable =, etc. It's annoying to have us to fix that to be able to work. - You printed the JSON, that's a good point, to test it, there is no need anymore of the Web API Call, see following sample
- You said that some values can be null, so please provide a JSON with these sample, cut if needed, see the JSON I used as sample, I checked on a JSON online validator that is was valid, and that's all. Since you that that 2 values could be null, I used all possibilities: one with none null, one with one null, one with the other null, and one with both null. Then, for each of these, I put the values as optional.
- I removed all the
init(from decoder:)as they are useless. If you decode each value withlet container = try decoder.container(keyedBy:CodingKeys.self); variable = try container.decode(VariableType.self,forKey: .correspondingCodingKeyInTheEnumCase), that code is already done internally by Apple when compiling.
