struct Data : ReferenceConvertible, Equatable, Hashable, RandomAccessCollection, MutableCollection, RangeReplaceableCollection

Computed Instance Properties

  • A Unicode string value representation of the data.

    This computed instance property renders its associated Data value into a Unicode string. This can be useful when reviewing the content of a byte buffer, such as when downloading a JSON object from a REST API service.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var stringDescription: String { get }

    Declaration

    Swift

    func decoded<T: Decodable>(using decoder: AnyDecoder = JSONDecoder())
    throws -> T

    Parameters

    decoder

    A decoder conforming to the AnyDecoder protocol.

    Return Value

    A decoded object adopting the Decodable protocol.
