JSON model decoding based on yyjson.
Consider the following JSON:
{
"profile": {
"nickname": "NIX",
"username": "@[email protected]",
"avatar_url": "https://files.mastodon.social/accounts/avatars/109/329/064/034/222/219/original/371901c6daa01207.png"
},
"toots": [
{
"id": 1,
"content": "Hello World!",
"created_at": "1674127714"
},
{
"id": 2,
"content": "How do you do?",
"created_at": "1674127720"
}
]
}We can create models conforming to the AnandaModel protocol as follows:
import Foundation
import Ananda
struct Mastodon: AnandaModel {
let profile: Profile
let toots: [Toot]
init(json: AnandaJSON) {
profile = .init(json: json.profile)
toots = json.toots.array().map { .init(json: $0) }
}
}
extension Mastodon {
struct Profile: AnandaModel {
let nickname: String
let username: String
let avatarURL: URL
init(json: AnandaJSON) {
username = json.username.string()
nickname = json.nickname.string()
avatarURL = json.avatar_url.url()
}
}
}
extension Mastodon {
struct Toot: AnandaModel {
let id: Int
let content: String
let createdAt: Date
init(json: AnandaJSON) {
id = json.id.int()
content = json.content.string()
createdAt = json.created_at.date()
}
}
}To decode a Mastodon instance, use the following code:
let mastodon = Mastodon.decode(from: jsonString)Or
let mastodon = Mastodon.decode(from: jsonData)If you only want to decode a specific part of the JSON, such as profile, specify the path as follows:
let profile = Mastodon.Profile.decode(from: jsonData, path: ["profile"])To decode an array of toots, use the following code:
let toots = [Mastodon.Toot].decode(from: jsonData, path: ["toots"])With AnandaMacros, you can use macros to eliminate the need for initialization methods, as shown below:
import Foundation
import Ananda
import AnandaMacros
@AnandaInit
struct Mastodon: AnandaModel {
let profile: Profile
let toots: [Toot]
}
extension Mastodon {
@AnandaInit
struct Profile: AnandaModel {
let nickname: String
let username: String
@AnandaKey("avatar_url")
let avatarURL: URL
}
}
extension Mastodon {
@AnandaInit
struct Toot: AnandaModel {
let id: Int
let content: String
@AnandaKey("created_at")
let createdAt: Date
}
}Simple and clean, right?

You can use Ducky Model Editor to generate AnandaModel from JSON, saving you time.
