core library
Protocol for encoding and decoding objects to various data formats.
This library contains only the core protocol interfaces and classes.
- For reference implementations of common data formats see the
implementationlibrary. - For extensions, helpers and utilities that make working with the protocol more convenient
see the
extendedlibrary. - For a high-level API that combines the protocol with end-user abstractions see the
mapperlibrary.
Classes
-
Codable<
T> -
An object that can both encode and decode a value of type
Tto/from various data formats. -
Decodable<
T> -
An object that can decode a value of type
Tfrom various data formats. - Decoder
- A data format that can decode different types of data.
-
DecodingType<
T> - A type of data that can be decoded by a Decoder.
-
Encodable<
T> -
An object that can encode a value of type
Tto various data formats. - Encoder
- A data format that can encode different types of data.
- IteratedDecoder
- A decoder that can decode iterated collections of data.
- IteratedEncoder
- An encoder that supports encoding iterated collections.
- KeyedDecoder
- A decoder that can decode iterated collections of key-value pairs of data.
- KeyedEncoder
- An encoder that supports encoding key-value pairs.
- MappedDecoder
- A decoder that can decode direct-access collections of key-value pairs of data.
-
SelfCodable<
T extends SelfEncodable> - A default Codable implementation for SelfEncodable types.
- SelfEncodable
- An object that can encode itself to various data formats.
