Matching JSON Objects
JSONMatcher provides a simple and powerful way to match JSON objects against patterns. You can define patterns using the JSONMatcher DSL and then match JSON objects against those patterns. Below is an example:
// Define the pattern
let pattern = JsonObjectPattern(
"name" => JsonType.string,
"age" => JsonType.integer,
"hobbies" => JsonType.array(of: JsonType.string)
)
// Sample JSON object to match
let jsonObject = [
"name": "John Doe",
"age": 25,
"hobbies": ["reading", "swimming"]
]
// Match the JSON object against the pattern
if pattern.matches(jsonObject) {
print("JSON object matches the pattern!")
} else {
print("JSON object does not match the pattern.")
}
Advanced Usage
The JSONMatcher library offers several advanced features for more complex scenarios. Some of these features include:
- Matching nested JSON objects
- Defining custom matchers
- Working with optional properties
- Handling arrays and collections
Conclusion
JSONMatcher provides a convenient way to match and validate JSON data in your Swift projects. Whether you need to validate API responses, parse configuration files, or verify data structures, JSONMatcher can simplify the process.
