Using Codable to parse nested JSON data problem - ios

Question

*I'm trying to use Codable to parse complex JSON data. But I have a problem with "route_polyline"field.
Problem:
CodingKeys(stringValue: "route_polyline", intValue: nil), _JSONKey(stringValue: "Index 0", intValue: 0)], debugDescription: "Expected to decode Dictionary but found an array instead.
Any help? I want to use Codable and not JSONSerialization.
My model:
struct RouteFareResponse: Decodable {
let status: String
let trip_cost: Trip_cost
}
struct Trip_cost: Decodable {
let start_address: String
let end_address: String
let trip_time: Int
let trip_distance: String
let transmit_cost: Int
let cost_in_zone: Int
let outdoor_zone_cost: Int
let sub_zones_cost: Int
let perform_cost: Int
let services_cost: Int
let min_cost: Int
let discount_by_promo: Int
let result_trip_cost:Int
let trip_cost: Int
let trip_cost_with_discount: Int
let route_polyline: [Polyline]
let _debug_sub_zones_info: String//Dict
let _debug: [Debug]
}
struct Polyline: Decodable {
var lat: Double
var long: Double
enum PolylineKeys: String, CodingKey {
case route_polyline
}
init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
let values = try decoder.container(keyedBy: PolylineKeys.self)
var route_polyline = try values.nestedUnkeyedContainer(forKey: .route_polyline)
var longLat = try route_polyline.nestedUnkeyedContainer()
long = try longLat.decode(Double.self)
lat = try longLat.decode(Double.self)
}
}
struct Debug: Codable {
let trip_distance: Int
let trip_time: Int
let zone_distance: Int
let zone_time: Int
let out_zone_distance: Int
let out_zone_time: Int
// let transmit_distance: NSNull
// let transmit_time: NSNull
let tariff_price_prefix: String
}
JSON Response:

Found kinda same problem but solution in this topic only works with the first couple of coordinates

Answer 1

The value of route_polyline is a nested array, but you have to decode the inner array directly to lat/long.
Change the Polyline struct to
struct Polyline: Decodable {
let lat: Double
let long: Double
init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
var longLat = try decoder.unkeyedContainer()
long = try longLat.decode(Double.self)
lat = try longLat.decode(Double.self)
}
}
Please avoid snake_cased variables. You can decode those keys to lowerCamelCased variables with the .convertFromSnakeCase key decoding strategy.
