I am trying to get response from Google's Book API. In there I can get response but for example, in some books have description or many other keys in response JSON. If I desing my structs according to with descriptions key, other books which not have description gave me dataCorrupted error and not decoding JSON. If I do otherwise, I get the same error on other books which have description. I hope I can explain myself. How can I solve it correctly?
Here my root class codable:
import Foundation
struct RootClass : Codable {
let items : [Item]?
let kind : String?
let totalItems : Int?
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case items = "items"
case kind = "kind"
case totalItems = "totalItems"
}
init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
let values = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
items = try values.decodeIfPresent([Item].self, forKey: .items)
kind = try values.decodeIfPresent(String.self, forKey: .kind)
totalItems = try values.decodeIfPresent(Int.self, forKey: .totalItems)
}
}
I need to reach root -> items -> volumeInfo.
And here Item codable struct:
import Foundation
struct Item : Codable {
let accessInfo : AccessInfo?
let etag : String?
let id : String?
let kind : String?
let saleInfo : SaleInfo?
let searchInfo : SearchInfo?
let selfLink : String?
let volumeInfo : VolumeInfo?
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case accessInfo = "accessInfo"
case etag = "etag"
case id = "id"
case kind = "kind"
case saleInfo = "saleInfo"
case searchInfo = "searchInfo"
case selfLink = "selfLink"
case volumeInfo = "volumeInfo"
}
init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
let values = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
accessInfo = try AccessInfo(from: decoder)
etag = try values.decodeIfPresent(String.self, forKey: .etag)
id = try values.decodeIfPresent(String.self, forKey: .id)
kind = try values.decodeIfPresent(String.self, forKey: .kind)
saleInfo = try SaleInfo(from: decoder)
searchInfo = try SearchInfo(from: decoder)
selfLink = try values.decodeIfPresent(String.self, forKey: .selfLink)
volumeInfo = try VolumeInfo(from: decoder)
}
}
And Here I parse json :
func parseJSON(searchData: Data) -> [SearchedModel]?{
let decode = JSONDecoder()
do{
let decodedData = try decode.decode(RootClass.self, from: searchData)
// IN HERE I CAN USE FOR LOOP TO ITEMS AND GET VOLUME INFO DATAS BUT ITS ALL NIL
return mainDataArr
}catch{
print(error)
return nil
}
}
When I try to loop over to items and get volume info datas its all nil. I can't understand why is this all nil? How can I solve it?
