(Help using) How to decode this XML?

[thefredelement]

Hi,

This is an awesome framework, thank you for making it. I have an XML that looks like this:

<Response>
  <status>success</status>
  <Things>
    <Thing>
      <ID>123456</ID>
    </Thing>
  </Things>
</Response>

And a Codable that looks like this:

struct ResponseThing: Codable {
  let ID: String
}

struct Response: Codable {

  let status: String
  let Things: [ResponseThing]
}

throws a missing key error... what am I missing?

[thomasnordquist]

let Things: [ResponseThing] would decode an array of Things not an array of Thing

To decode the given XML you would need something like

struct Response: Codable {
  let status: String
  let Things: ThingContainer
}

struct ThingContainer: Codable {
  let Thing: [ResponseThing]
}

struct ResponseThing: Codable {
  let ID: String
}

You might also want to take a look at CodingKeys, they will make your code much more readable.
