.Explanation: As laid out in a proposed update to SE-0166 and SE-0167, there are optionality updates that we wanted to introduce to the Codable API. This implements the remainder of those updates which had not yet been implemented:
encodeNil(forKey:)
anddecodeNil(forKey:)
have been added to keyed containersencodeNil()
anddecodeNil()
have been added to unkeyed containersdecode(...)
in terms ofdecodeIfPresent(...)
on all containers has been reversed: withdecodeNil(...)
in place, a default implementation ofdecodeIfPresent(...)
is now given on all containers, anddecode(...)
must be implemented insteadKeyedEncodingContainer
andKeyedDecodingContainer
so it should be possible to give actual implementations instead of calling into the defaultsScope: Affects
Encoder
/Decoder
writers as well as users of the Codable API withOptional
values.Radars:
Risk: Low
Testing: This adds unit tests to confirm that decoding from null values works as expected.
