Type-erased wrappers forEncodable,Decodable, andCodable values.

This functionality is discussed in Chapter 3 ofFlight School Guide to Swift Codable.

Add the AnyCodable package to your target dependencies inPackage.swift:

import PackageDescriptionletpackage=Package(  name:"YourProject",  dependencies:[.package(        url:"https://github.com/Flight-School/AnyCodable",        from:"0.6.0"),])

Then run theswift build command to build your project.

You can installAnyCodable via CocoaPodsby adding the following line to yourPodfile:

pod'AnyCodable-FlightSchool','~> 0.6.0'

Run thepod install command to download the libraryand integrate it into your Xcode project.

NoteThe module name for this library is "AnyCodable" ---that is, to use it, you addimport AnyCodable to the top of your Swift codejust as you would by any other installation method.The pod is called "AnyCodable-FlightSchool"because there's an existing pod with the name "AnyCodable".

To useAnyCodable in your Xcode project using Carthage,specify it inCartfile:

github "Flight-School/AnyCodable" ~> 0.6.0

Then run thecarthage update command to build the framework,and drag the built AnyCodable.framework into your Xcode project.

import AnyCodableletdictionary:[String:AnyEncodable]=["boolean":true,"integer":1,"double":3.141592653589793,"string":"string","array":[1,2,3],"nested":["a":"alpha","b":"bravo","c":"charlie"],"null":nil]letencoder=JSONEncoder()letjson=try! encoder.encode(dictionary)

letjson="""{"boolean": true,"integer": 1,"double": 3.141592653589793,"string":"string","array": [1, 2, 3],"nested": {"a":"alpha","b":"bravo","c":"charlie"    },"null": null}""".data(using:.utf8)!letdecoder=JSONDecoder()letdictionary=try! decoder.decode([String:AnyDecodable].self, from: json)

AnyCodable can be used to wrap values for encoding and decoding.
