JSONModel/JSONModel
JSONModel
JSONModel is a data modeling framework and serialization library for Apple platforms, including iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. It transforms JSON strings and dictionaries into typed Swift objects to eliminate manual dictionary parsing.
The framework provides a mapping system that utilizes custom key rules and dot-notation to resolve nested data hierarchies. It supports the conversion of complex JSON structures into organized model relationships and manages the transformation of JSON arrays into collections of typed model instances.
The toolset includes data type transformation via custom transformers and integrity validation to check the correctness of populated data. It also provides utilities to export model instances back into JSON strings or dictionaries for data transmission and persistent storage.
