Toot

Written by Dave DeLong on 2024-08-18 at 19:46

Today I am reminded, once again, that #Codable is a terrible #SwiftLang API that should be excised from the language with extreme prejudice.

It's a shame that Swift 6 is already "done”; it would've been the perfect time to do it.

@davedelong Why is it bad? I only want stuff serialized.

@davedelong I’d love to hear the thoughts behind this.

I have some issues with it, particularly that it has to be a conformance, and in creating custom coders (non json, say).

It also feels both not powerful enough and too powerful, has a few irritating edge cases (eg, around nullify), and is just, like, quite heavy feeling internally, and a bit odd.

I like that it mostly just works though. That’s okay.
