One way to handle this is to make use of the error JSON.Error.valueNotConvertible
that Freddy provides. Below, data
could be whatever you pull down from your server API. The Resident
type comes from Freddy's test suite.
func getDataThatMaybeIsArrayOrDictionary() {
// let data = [ ["name": "Matt", "age": 33, "hasPet": false, "rent": 1000.0],
// ["name": "Drew", "age": 34, "hasPet": true, "rent": 1234.5] ] as JSON
let data = ["name": "Pat", "age": 40, "hasPet": false, "rent": 111.11] as JSON
do {
let residents = try data.decodedArray(type: Resident.self)
print("It's an array: \(residents)")
} catch let JSON.Error.valueNotConvertible(value, type) where type == Array<JSON>.self {
do {
let pat = try value.decode(type: Resident.self)
print("It's a dictionary: \(pat)")
} catch {
// Handle error
}
} catch {
// Handle error
}
}
The nested do/catch
is not ideal. You could do something like this instead if dealing with an optional makes sense:
func getDataThatMaybeIsArrayOrDictionary() {
// let data = [ ["name": "Matt", "age": 33, "hasPet": false, "rent": 1000.0],
// ["name": "Drew", "age": 34, "hasPet": true, "rent": 1234.5] ] as JSON
let data = ["name": "Pat", "age": 40, "hasPet": false, "rent": 111.11] as JSON
do {
let residents = try data.decodedArray(type: Resident.self)
print("It's an array: \(residents)")
} catch let JSON.Error.valueNotConvertible(value, type) where type == Array<JSON>.self {
- do {
- let pat = try value.decode(type: Resident.self)
- print("It's a dictionary: \(pat)")
- } catch {
- // Handle error
- }
+ guard let pat = try? value.decode(type: Resident.self) else { return }
+ print("It's a dictionary: \(pat)")
} catch {
// Handle error
}
}

thank you, I'll try that.
