AnyDecoder

public protocol AnyDecoder

A decoder type.

Swift has no common built-in protocol for all decoder types. This protocol remedies that shortcoming. Furthermore, it enables type inference-based API support for decoder tpes conforming to the AnyDecoder protocol.


                    
                    
                    decode(_:from:)

Returns a type-inferred value, decoded from a Data object using decoder conforming to the AnyDecoder protocol.

If the Data object is not syntacticlly valid, this generic instance method throws the DecodingError.dataCorrupted(_:) error. If a value within this object fails to decode, this method throws the corresponding error.

Declaration

Swift

func decode<T>(_ type: T.Type, from data: Data) throws -> T where T : Decodable

Parameters

`type`	The type, adopting the `Decodable` protocol, of the value to decode from the supplied `Data` object.
`data`	The `Data` object to decode.

Return Value

A decoded object adopting the Decodable protocol.
