我正在尝试使用Swift 4中的新JSONDecoder / Encoder找到符合swift协议的编码/解码结构数组的最佳方法。
我举了一个例子来说明问题:
首先,我们有一个协议标签和一些符合此协议的类型。
protocol Tag: Codable {
var type: String { get }
var value: String { get }
}
struct AuthorTag: Tag {
let type = "author"
let value: String
}
struct GenreTag: Tag {
let type = "genre"
let value: String
}
然后我们有一个Type Article,它有一个标签数组。
struct Article: Codable {
let tags: [Tag]
let title: String
}
最后我们对文章进行编码或解码
let article = Article(tags: [AuthorTag(value: "Author Tag Value"), GenreTag(value:"Genre Tag Value")], title: "Article Title")
let jsonEncoder = JSONEncoder()
let jsonData = try jsonEncoder.encode(article)
let jsonString = String(data: jsonData, encoding: .utf8)
这是我喜欢的JSON结构。
{
"title": "Article Title",
"tags": [
{
"type": "author",
"value": "Author Tag Value"
},
{
"type": "genre",
"value": "Genre Tag Value"
}
]
}
问题是,在某些时候我必须打开type属性来解码数组,但要解码数组我必须知道它的类型。
修改
我很清楚为什么Decodable不能开箱即用,但至少Encodable应该可以工作。以下修改过的文章结构编译但崩溃时出现以下错误消息。
fatal error: Array<Tag> does not conform to Encodable because Tag does not conform to Encodable.: file /Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/swiftlang/swiftlang-900.0.43/src/swift/stdlib/public/core/Codable.swift, line 3280
struct Article: Encodable {
let tags: [Tag]
let title: String
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case tags
case title
}
func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws {
var container = encoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
try container.encode(tags, forKey: .tags)
try container.encode(title, forKey: .title)
}
}
let article = Article(tags: [AuthorTag(value: "Author Tag"), GenreTag(value:"A Genre Tag")], title: "A Title")
let jsonEncoder = JSONEncoder()
let jsonData = try jsonEncoder.encode(article)
let jsonString = String(data: jsonData, encoding: .utf8)
这是Codeable.swift的相关部分
guard Element.self is Encodable.Type else {
preconditionFailure("\(type(of: self)) does not conform to Encodable because \(Element.self) does not conform to Encodable.")
}

答案 0 :(得分:67)
您的第一个示例未编译(以及您的第二次崩溃)的原因是protocols don't conform to themselves - Tag
不是符合Codable
的类型,因此[Tag]
也不符合Article
1}}。因此,Codable
不会获得自动生成的Codable
一致性,因为并非所有属性都符合AnyTag
。
如果您只想对协议中列出的属性进行编码和解码,一种解决方案就是简单地使用只保存这些属性的Codable
类型橡皮擦,然后可以提供Article
一致性。
然后你可以让Tag
持有这个类型擦除包装器的数组,而不是struct AnyTag : Tag, Codable {
let type: String
let value: String
init(_ base: Tag) {
self.type = base.type
self.value = base.value
}
}
struct Article: Codable {
let tags: [AnyTag]
let title: String
}
let tags: [Tag] = [
AuthorTag(value: "Author Tag Value"),
GenreTag(value:"Genre Tag Value")
]
let article = Article(tags: tags.map(AnyTag.init), title: "Article Title")
let jsonEncoder = JSONEncoder()
jsonEncoder.outputFormatting = .prettyPrinted
let jsonData = try jsonEncoder.encode(article)
if let jsonString = String(data: jsonData, encoding: .utf8) {
print(jsonString)
}
:
{
"title" : "Article Title",
"tags" : [
{
"type" : "author",
"value" : "Author Tag Value"
},
{
"type" : "genre",
"value" : "Genre Tag Value"
}
]
}
哪个输出以下JSON字符串:
let decoded = try JSONDecoder().decode(Article.self, from: jsonData)
print(decoded)
// Article(tags: [
// AnyTag(type: "author", value: "Author Tag Value"),
// AnyTag(type: "genre", value: "Genre Tag Value")
// ], title: "Article Title")
可以这样解码:
Tag
但是,如果您需要对给定enum
符合类型的每个属性进行编码和解码,您可能希望以某种方式将类型信息存储在JSON中。
我会使用enum TagType : String, Codable {
// be careful not to rename these – the encoding/decoding relies on the string
// values of the cases. If you want the decoding to be reliant on case
// position rather than name, then you can change to enum TagType : Int.
// (the advantage of the String rawValue is that the JSON is more readable)
case author, genre
var metatype: Tag.Type {
switch self {
case .author:
return AuthorTag.self
case .genre:
return GenreTag.self
}
}
}
来执行此操作:
Tag
这比仅使用普通字符串来表示类型更好,因为编译器可以检查我们是否为每种情况提供了元类型。
然后您只需要更改static
协议,以便它需要符合类型来实现描述其类型的protocol Tag : Codable {
static var type: TagType { get }
var value: String { get }
}
struct AuthorTag : Tag {
static var type = TagType.author
let value: String
var foo: Float
}
struct GenreTag : Tag {
static var type = TagType.genre
let value: String
var baz: String
}
属性:
TagType
然后我们需要调整类型擦除包装器的实现,以便对Tag
以及基类struct AnyTag : Codable {
var base: Tag
init(_ base: Tag) {
self.base = base
}
private enum CodingKeys : CodingKey {
case type, base
}
init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
let container = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
let type = try container.decode(TagType.self, forKey: .type)
self.base = try type.metatype.init(from: container.superDecoder(forKey: .base))
}
func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws {
var container = encoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
try container.encode(type(of: base).type, forKey: .type)
try base.encode(to: container.superEncoder(forKey: .base))
}
}
进行编码和解码:
{
"type" : "author",
"base" : {
"value" : "Author Tag Value",
"foo" : 56.7
}
}
我们正在使用超级编码器/解码器,以确保给定符合类型的属性键不会与用于编码类型的键冲突。例如,编码的JSON将如下所示:
{
"type" : "author",
"value" : "Author Tag Value",
"foo" : 56.7
}
但是,如果您知道不会发生冲突,并希望在相同级别对属性进行编码/解码,那么JSON看起来像这样:
decoder
您可以通过container.superDecoder(forKey: .base)
代替encoder
&amp; <{1}}代替上述代码中的container.superEncoder(forKey: .base)
。
作为可选步骤,我们可以自定义Codable
的{{1}}实施,而不是依赖于与Article
的自动生成的一致性属性为tags
类型的属性,我们可以提供自己的实现,在编码之前将[AnyTag]
装入[Tag]
,然后取消装箱进行解码:
[AnyTag]
然后,我们可以让struct Article {
let tags: [Tag]
let title: String
init(tags: [Tag], title: String) {
self.tags = tags
self.title = title
}
}
extension Article : Codable {
private enum CodingKeys : CodingKey {
case tags, title
}
init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
let container = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
self.tags = try container.decode([AnyTag].self, forKey: .tags).map { $0.base }
self.title = try container.decode(String.self, forKey: .title)
}
func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws {
var container = encoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
try container.encode(tags.map(AnyTag.init), forKey: .tags)
try container.encode(title, forKey: .title)
}
}
属性的类型为tags
,而不是[Tag]
。
现在,我们可以对[AnyTag]
枚举中列出的任何Tag
符合类型进行编码和解码:
TagType
哪个输出JSON字符串:
let tags: [Tag] = [
AuthorTag(value: "Author Tag Value", foo: 56.7),
GenreTag(value:"Genre Tag Value", baz: "hello world")
]
let article = Article(tags: tags, title: "Article Title")
let jsonEncoder = JSONEncoder()
jsonEncoder.outputFormatting = .prettyPrinted
let jsonData = try jsonEncoder.encode(article)
if let jsonString = String(data: jsonData, encoding: .utf8) {
print(jsonString)
}
然后可以这样解码:
{
"title" : "Article Title",
"tags" : [
{
"type" : "author",
"base" : {
"value" : "Author Tag Value",
"foo" : 56.7
}
},
{
"type" : "genre",
"base" : {
"value" : "Genre Tag Value",
"baz" : "hello world"
}
}
]
}
答案 1 :(得分:3)
灵感来自@Hamish答案。我发现他的方法合理,但是可能有几处改进:
.*$
中与[Tag]
之间来回映射数组[AnyTag]
使我们没有自动生成的Article
一致性Codable
不能在子类中被覆盖。 (例如,如果static var type
是Tag
和AuthorTag
的超类)我提出了稍微不同的解决方案,而不是包装数组的每个元素,可以对整个数组进行包装:
GenreTag
struct MetaArray<M: Meta>: Codable, ExpressibleByArrayLiteral {
let array: [M.Element]
init(_ array: [M.Element]) {
self.array = array
}
init(arrayLiteral elements: M.Element...) {
self.array = elements
}
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case metatype
case object
}
init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
var container = try decoder.unkeyedContainer()
var elements: [M.Element] = []
while !container.isAtEnd {
let nested = try container.nestedContainer(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
let metatype = try nested.decode(M.self, forKey: .metatype)
let superDecoder = try nested.superDecoder(forKey: .object)
let object = try metatype.type.init(from: superDecoder)
if let element = object as? M.Element {
elements.append(element)
}
}
array = elements
}
func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws {
var container = encoder.unkeyedContainer()
try array.forEach { object in
let metatype = M.metatype(for: object)
var nested = container.nestedContainer(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
try nested.encode(metatype, forKey: .metatype)
let superEncoder = nested.superEncoder(forKey: .object)
let encodable = object as? Encodable
try encodable?.encode(to: superEncoder)
}
}
}
是通用协议:
Meta
现在,存储标签将如下所示:
protocol Meta: Codable {
associatedtype Element
static func metatype(for element: Element) -> Self
var type: Decodable.Type { get }
}
结果JSON:
enum TagMetatype: String, Meta {
typealias Element = Tag
case author
case genre
static func metatype(for element: Tag) -> TagMetatype {
return element.metatype
}
var type: Decodable.Type {
switch self {
case .author: return AuthorTag.self
case .genre: return GenreTag.self
}
}
}
struct AuthorTag: Tag {
var metatype: TagMetatype { return .author } // keep computed to prevent auto-encoding
let value: String
}
struct GenreTag: Tag {
var metatype: TagMetatype { return .genre } // keep computed to prevent auto-encoding
let value: String
}
struct Article: Codable {
let title: String
let tags: MetaArray<TagMetatype>
}
let article = Article(title: "Article Title",
tags: [AuthorTag(value: "Author Tag Value"),
GenreTag(value:"Genre Tag Value")])
{
"title" : "Article Title",
"tags" : [
{
"metatype" : "author",
"object" : {
"value" : "Author Tag Value"
}
},
{
"metatype" : "genre",
"object" : {
"value" : "Genre Tag Value"
}
}
]
}
添加到{
"title" : "Article Title",
"tags" : [
{
"author" : {
"value" : "Author Tag Value"
}
},
{
"genre" : {
"value" : "Genre Tag Value"
}
}
]
}
协议
Meta
并将protocol Meta: Codable {
associatedtype Element
static func metatype(for element: Element) -> Self
var type: Decodable.Type { get }
init?(rawValue: String)
var rawValue: String { get }
}
替换为:
CodingKeys

答案 3 :(得分:1)
您为什么不对标签类型使用枚举?
struct Tag: Codable {
let type: TagType
let value: String
enum TagType: String, Codable {
case author
case genre
}
}
然后,您可以像try? JSONEncoder().encode(tag)
那样进行编码或像let tags = try? JSONDecoder().decode([Tag].self, from: jsonData)
那样进行解码,并进行各种处理,例如按类型过滤标签。您也可以对Article结构执行相同的操作:
struct Tag: Codable {
let type: TagType
let value: String
enum TagType: String, Codable {
case author
case genre
}
}
struct Article: Codable {
let tags: [Tag]
let title: String
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case tags
case title
}
}
