如何在Swift中将嵌套的JSON字符串解析为对象？

Question

我有以下数据结构

struct Symbol : Codable {
    let id:Int
    let type:String
    let properties:[String:String]?
}

struct Event : Codable {
    let event:String
    let timestamp:Int
    let symbol:Symbol?
}

struct LogRow : Codable {
    let id:Int
    let user_id:String
    let question_id:String
    let actions:[Event]
    let timestamp:Double
}

和下面的JSON数组

    "user_id": "qhv1i39wsmbkzhjiffk1rrsg",

JSON数据来自一个数据库，通过DataGrip的JSON导出导出。数据库字段的类型是JSON (它是Postgres，所以没有问题)。

SELECT
  ...
  event_details->>'actions' AS actions,
  ...
FROM yadda_yadda...;

如果它是有用的(是的，我也尝试了单一箭头版本，没有区别)。

我的问题是如何使Swift将actions字符串作为JSON对象解析为[Event]？或者，是否有一种方法使DataGrip (或postgres)将该字段导出为像其容器一样的对象，而不是序列化的对象？

编辑I像这样改变了LogRow

struct LogRow : Codable {
    let id:Int
    let user_id:String
    let question_id:String
    let actions:[Event]
    let timestamp:Double

    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case id
        case user_id
        case question_id
        case actions
        case timestamp
    }

    init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
        let values = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
        id = try values.decode(Int.self, forKey: .id)
        user_id = try values.decode(String.self, forKey: .user_id)
        question_id = try values.decode(String.self, forKey: .question_id)
        timestamp = try values.decode(Double.self, forKey: .timestamp)

        let actions_string = try values.decode(String.self, forKey: .actions)
        let actions_data = actions_string.data(using: .utf8)!
        actions = try JSONDecoder().decode([Event].self, from: actions_data)
    }
}

现在我得到了一个类似的错误，但显然是在Event上，而不是在LogRow上。

Answer 1

您可以使用可选链接，这是苹果公司给出的解决方案：https://developer.apple.com/swift/blog/?id=37

还有一些库可以为您提供服务，比如https://github.com/Hearst-DD/ObjectMapper或https://github.com/tristanhimmelman/AlamofireObjectMapper

这是一个关于如何执行该操作的基本示例，但是您应该重构并查看我给出的链接：

guard let event = jsonObject["event"] as? String, let timestamp = jsonObject["timestamp"] as? Int else {return}
myEvent.event = event
myEvent.timestamp = timestamp 
if let symbol = jsonObject["symbol"] as? [String:Any] {
    guard let symbolId = symbol["id"] as? Int, let type = symbol["type"] else {return}
    let mySymbol = symbol()
    mySymbol.id = id
    mySymbol.type = type
}

编辑

如果您使用的是迅速4和可编码协议，这应该是非常容易的，您只需使您的嵌套对象也可编码！然后就是：

try decoder.decode(yourType.self, from: yourJsonString)

如果您正确地使用了CodingKeys，它就应该这样做。

Answer 2

问题是properties的声明，因为JSON对象没有编码[String:String]字典，因为其中一些值可能不是String的。
