How to use a dictionary from JSON with Realm? - ios

Question

Creating a data model to use with codable and realm. Im getting stuck on dictionaries. As I understand it, you cannot use dictionaries with realm? How can I decode the following JSON and use it with something Realm will accept?
JSON Example A
"platform": {
"data": {
"25": {
"id": 25,
"name": "3DO",
"alias": "3do"
},
"4944": {
"id": 4944,
"name": "Acorn Archimedes",
"alias": "acorn-archimedes"
},
"4954": {
"id": 4954,
"name": "Acorn Electron",
"alias": "acorn-electron"
}
}
Note, the keys are strings that change, in decoable form i have it as
StructExample A
struct PlatformData : Codable {
let data : [String: PlatformInformation]
}

Here is similar, except now with an array of objects as the value
Struct Example B
struct BoxArtData : Codeable {
let data: [String:[ExtraImages]]
}
